people act as if books are the be-all end-all of information, but like… they’re just the best people managed with resources and technology of the time! If you asked an ancient scholar if they prefer a book, or a tablet with MANY books in it, gee i sure do wonder which one they’d choose…
For sure! I mean there are definitely advantages to physical books, like anything that you want to flip through quickly like a textbook is awful on an ereader… but just having hundreds of books on the go is a huge win.
and even that is something we could fix if we decided to, e-ink technology is starting to improve again and we’ll probably have decent refresh speeds in a few years and then you’ll be able to flip through them like a book!

God I hope so T_T. I have like an ancient kindle at this point and I’ve been waiting for something that’s actually worth upgrading to.
