Tell mre /lit/ is there any real reason to buy the books you read as opposed to downloading them off the internet? The only real benefit to reading a paperback book that I can see is the possibility of striking up a conversation with another person in public.
They're dirt cheap, easier to read and more portable.
Also, a black person will steal your tablet, but they won't steal a book.
you can give it to a friend when you're done :^) (if you have any)

They're not cheaper if you're torrenting them for free :^)
It's mostly a social thing, yeah. They're also very pretty, and a nice bookshelf looks swell.
You could also pass on your collection to your kids or something as well.

You should keep at least a handful of books stored for the inevitable happening. Keeping some of your favorites is ok, but you need a few to pass knowledge to the next generation, like agriculture 101 and first aid.

E readers are not too common where I live so people always think it's a tablet. It's distressing enough to fear for my cellphone, I'm not going to walk around carrying another thing I'm sure will eventually be stolen from me.
Also I like physical books. I'm not sure why so many people think that's not a valid reason.
>b but digital is more convenient!
Yes, so? So is eating out, doesn't change the fact that I enjoy cooking.
