“I will never own an e-reader. I understand why it’s convenient to have because you can carry a bunch of books with you at all times, but nothing compares to a real paper book. I especially love secondhand books because they’re pre-loved and you can tell someone really enjoyed the book if it’s a little bent and beat up. It makes me want to read it more.”

#9 the joke is on you, because CD is digital music
#19 the reason of read/seen is to be sure that there is no connection error, which is quite common especially on mobile net.

Dalton,
#9 Agreed, but if the digital music has been compressed, it won’t sound as good.

#4 I used to think the same, but did get a Kindle. It took a while to get over the feeling that I was working with "a device", but I persevered and now I don't even notice it - I just get lost in the words and stories of a hundred thousand books.

#2 This is a serious issue, imo. With analog buttons, you could feel that you were touching them, and barely had to glance, but with touchscreens, you have to take your eyes off the road to make sure your hitting the right spot on the screen. It's almost as dangerous as texting.

#4 I felt the same way until I started reading on an IPad. I can adjust the font type, font size, and screen brightness to suit my needs. I would prefer to read a real book but my IPad makes it easier and a nicer experience.

Most of these are spot on and do a good job of emphasizing how pathetic society nowdays is becoming.

#3 Umm cell phones existed 30 years ago, as well as fax, pagers, and paper messengers. The reason work never called was because they RESPECTED personal time.

#7 Bullsh#t. People have said that about any new media. 100 years ago they argued about using paper rather than chalkboards, or television over radio, computers over books, clockwork toys over carved wooden ones.

Boomers are slowly leaving the earth which is good, too much complaining
