Why don't you buy paper books? Ebooks lack character.

>>7847623
I do

>>7847623
I do, though. I have about 1,200.

Why don't you browse /lit/ in paper? Esites lack character.

>the bulk of my possessions, by weight, are books

Mine would be ammo, as I discovered in my last move.

30+ boxes of books still isn't as horrible as ten boxes of ammo going up the stairs.

>>7847623
Cause I can't pirate paper

>>7847656
I do. I print out the homepage every 20 minute.

>a collection of inked paper has capacity for character

But if I'm being serious, I find it easier to read on a screen.

Food is a necessity, not a material good

>>7848030
I'm sure the Barnes and Noble editions you are buying will improve in value like a first edition, you mong

Both? I read eBooks at work and paperbacks at home. Honestly, eBooks are crazy cheap, I bought like 7 collections of at least 6 books each, but probably totals around 55 books, for 7 goddamn dollars. Not even thrift shops put out like that. On Google Books you can get all kinds of shit for free.

For a broke ass bitch who can only afford to buy a handful of books a month, eBooks are a goldmine.

>download as many free books as I want
>enough books to last me for years

thats why

>>7847623
the format literally doesn't matter

what matters is the contents

>>7847623
I live a nomadic lifestyle and carrying all those heavy books would be a bother

>>7847623
>buy

Because I'd like to spend as little money as possible

kleptomania refers to compulsive thievery. Kleptomaniacs generally don't steal things for their use value, they just take shit and get the fuck out.

What they are actually trying to "steal" is the rush. Stealing for any other reason isn't a mental illness, it's just petty theft.

Food improves in value as you get hungrier.

I can't read a paper book at 2:30 am with the lights out and my dick in my hand, I'll tell you that

>>7847623
I prefer phsycial books but for practicality I buy digital a lot. Though, think that if I buy the physical book I should get a download for the digital copy as well. Just for convenience and I'd buy waaay more physical books if they came with a digital copy.

>character
nothing says character like ground up trees and glue

Proud paperfag here, but I can understand ebooks because lack of bookshelf space can be a real killer.

>period pieces = physical copy

Books are expensive, so I dont want to waste money for 1 week use & its fucking 2016 why do you want books when you can have device that allows you carry hundreds of books in 300 gr?
when people had to change papyri to books, you idiots probably will argue something like "books dont have sooul passing the pages are not the same as roll the paper xDD >:(((!1"

China is chill as fuck, anon. There's basically no government where I live unless you're trying to actively bring down the CCP.
