> Ebooks: better than printed books

Ebooks are great. But they are different from paper books. They are like a cousin in the family: different, sure, but better? It's hard to say. Printed books' long-lasting beauty and tactile qualities are just not replicable by ebooks. Ebooks have other advantages, but the reading experience is not comparable.

Yes the ebook reading experience is lightyears ahead of books. Books are really awkward to hold after an hour or so.

I only read fiction ebooks. With nonfiction I’m flipping back and forth to notes etc and it just sucks.
