  • I've got a kindle but it doesn't stop me buying physical books. It does mean I buy fewer physical books, which is good because I have more space and not as much stuff to dust.

    Other pros of kindles:

    • You can highlight stuff in the kindle easily so you can look it up later
    • You can search for keywords so it's easier to find stuff
    • You can change the font size
    • You can read super-embarrassing books and nobody will be any the wiser

    Not as good:

    • Easy to lose
    • You can't ostentatiously show off how clever you are with the highly visible contents of your bookcase
    • You can't sort your kindle books by number of pages, wtf
    • I put a cover on mine and it got really stinky and I had to put it in the washing machine and it got ruined :( (the cover, i mean, not the kindle. though if i'd put the kindle in the wash that would also have been ruined. and so would a book, if i tried washing one of those)
    • Jeff fucking Bezos
