>"I still love books. Nothing a computer can do can compare to a book. You can't really put a book on the Internet. Three companies have offered to put books by me on the Net, and I said, 'If you can make something that has a nice jacket, nice paper with that nice smell, then we'll talk.' All the computer can give you is a manuscript. People don't want to read manuscripts. They want to read books. Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket."
CRINGE. What an ape.
Fahrenheit 451 was 70 years ago moron
>The Internet was extant 70 years ago
Fricking idiot.
Frick, I feel moronic now. When was that extract written?
I want the copium Mr. Bradbury is taking.
It's true though. The only thing an ereader has over physical books is that you can carry many books around more easily and you can get almost anything you want for free.
Yes, exactly. And reading door stoppers without having to carry them isn't that bad. I really like my two kindles but yes.

You can only read in the same positions as with a normal book anyway.

>I know how to speak English
Congratulation, you know either every English words or you can guess the meaning.
>he lamp has already been invented
waste of electricity and most ereader if not all automatically shutdown after some times if you touch it(i.e fall asleep)
>You can only read in the same positions as with a normal book anyway.
not as comfortably + it's easier to set up a remote page turner for an ereader than it is for paperbooks
confirmed moron....anti ebook incels keep snuffing on your cellulose made from wood of trees that a trillion sqirrels jizzed on just to feel superior while I browse comfortably through my extensive librabry of finest literature I gathered on my device that represents human ingenuity like no other for FREE....try cramming 1000+ books in your pocket you stupid dipshit, do us a favor, return to monke and let us civilised people enjoy our superior electronic devices Gay Tardbury
Books are for reading, not sniffing or caressing. I've got over two thousand books on my computer right now, they're all easy to organise and I don't need to give my life savings to Ikea to store them. Physical books are obsolete and Ray Bradbury was a mongoloid.
ebooks are 1) easier to steel, 2) easier to organize, 3) easier to extract your highlights and notes from 4) easier to store
physical books are more aesthetic and they don't require electricity to run which might become more relevant with energy shortages and co2 credit systems approaching in the near future.

Paper is better for retention, I like my kindles and whatever, but le sciencerino has proven that already.
Also, considering dystopian governments, they would have a way harder time messing around and changing paper books. I don't trust the government, and I honestly don't doubt some of them might attempt or are even actively doing that.
Fit it in your pocket? How big is this man's pockets? Or is he carrying around a bunch of smol editions
I love pressing books into my bossom
he makes that israelite girl with big breasts wet
Why do physical books send e-reader virgins into a raging fit? are they THAT insecure about their worthless piece of machinery?
I don't know buddy. From the looks of it, you're the one seething.

its like people who shame you for not emulating video games or something.
I really have to wonder what the depressing homes of people who are against all physical media look like.
physical books are just easier to read. I have romantic attachment to them, but its just the only option for me that works
I had a kindle once in Highschool. It was pretty great for awhile until two things happened. First some butthole stole it and it took me hours to track him down. Second it broke and I lost all my books because my parents refused to give me the password for the account and I never learned it. Since then I haven't gotten another one. I am thinking about getting one however because I'm running out of space for my books. I've already begun giving some away in local book nooks.
