>>132871870I used to regularly buy and read at least 2-3 books a month. Then I bought a Kindle. That was some four years ago. Since then, I literally haven't bought a single book and I've read a lot more books in the past four years than in the previous eight.
It might be different if you're reading some on some shitty bootleg chink e-reader or an iPad or whatever, but with a proper e-reader with that e-ink technology of theirs, it feels literally no different from reading on it than reading on real paper, and reading on an e-reader is a lot more convenient than reading physical books: You don't need to look for them to buy them or wait for them to arrive once you order them, you can literally download them and read them the very same day, you can carry literally thousands of books with you, it's much easier to turn pages and hold it, hell, you can pirate books and get them for free instead of paying, etc.
Fair enough if you have some favorite books and want to own physical copies of them in your collection. Nothing wrong with that. But stubborn resistance and hatred towards e-readers is just brainless, reactionary ludditism by pretentious hipsters who want to talk about how they love the smell of new books or how sophisticated they look by rejecting modern consumerist technologies while sticking to "classier" physical books. And if you want to be a faggot and brag about how many books you've read, you can just use the literature's MAL equivalent, goodreads.
