Shut the fuck up elitist.
It’s a fucking book.

who cares which is more impressive anyway omg

You know what?
I have to move every few months. I’ve had to move every few months for the last 9 years, and I moved around a lot before that, too.
I lost many many books in every move. I basically had to stop acquiring new print books.
My digital books can easily go wherever I do.
Which means I *actually get to read them*.
Why does anyone have a problem with that?

Also what I find impressive is that I can read even when I’m too weak to hold a book or turn pages, and my reading comprehension I’d light years better than it is when having to hold a book. And given my receptive vocabulary is quite small, the built in dictionary is impressive too. And when my eyes won’t work, it will read to me out loud. And I can change the print size easily to match my level of focus that day. (Neuromuscular condition that affects eyes too, plus visual processing problems.)But nobody considers disabled people when they trash ebook readers or engage in general book snobbery. There are people who can’t read paper books at all who can use ebook readers, but I guess that isn’t as impressive as a regular book.
