the only downside is you can't show off what you're reading

i bet they'll come up with something to change that though since it's literally the only downside

I've also used an e-reader for about 5 years, precisely because I can download books for free, but that doesn't make it better than reading an actual book. I always prefer to have the real copy if I can get my hands on it, either through the library or by borrowing it from parents.

all trolling aside, there's something restraining about actually holding the book. You don't get the same urge to look for something else.
E readers are to books what browsing youtube is to listening to a CD on a long car ride. With CDs you listen to every song in the full, because it's that or silence. Monastic.
to be honest, I think e readers are a mark of lack of control of the impulses, caracterised by a childish temperament and foul anal leaking.

So it has no downside if you're not a pretentious fuck? Good to know.
