I am sure (because I have read some of them!) that such things were written about those newfangled “printed” books back in the early 1500s.

But after close to half a decade of downloading and consuming any number of novels, autobiographies, comics and self-help titles in Kindle form, I have yet to feel as fully invested in the pixels on a Bezos-imagined screen as I do in the indelible glyphs found on good old-fashioned book paper.

Translation: I am old and do not like change.

I prefer ebooks in nearly every way to physical volumes. They are so much lighter. The fonts are better. They can be transferred easily to another device.

The reading experience is in every way simply superior. And not having to carry around heavy objects is always a plus.
