> What’s wrong with e-books?

This article is about academic libraries. Research in many fields requires keeping multiple books open in front of you at the same time, because new research typically starts by synthesizing disparate previous research. That’s a workflow that most people find much less efficient with ebooks. Your segue into personal book ownership and impressing people is also not very relevant to the article.

This article started about academics but mostly was about how the author likes to look at their own bookshelf and hasn’t actually read the books there, while ripping into people that read on other modalities.
