So in the last years i’ve usually mainly been reading books on my e-reader, and it’s true that it’s quite convenient (and potentially cheaper too), i won’t deny that.
But recently, as i was travelling, on a whim i decided to buy some physical books again, and man, there’s just something about holding an actual real book in your hand that is just irreplaceable.
It’s such a satisfying feeling just to hold and open one, and such a wonderful reading experience to turn real pages. Electronic devices just feel so cold and sterile where physical books feel warm and homey. Even the woody smell… I had almost forgotten how in love i am with paper books.
In Poland price is becoming huge problem, for some reason everything now had to be in the luxurious hardcover side printed editions and prices of even paperbacks are not much lower. Ebooks are literally 10% cheaper than physical books. Average pulp book cost the same as medium sized lux album had 15 years ago.
