Things That I Hate

Real Books Nowadays

One word: overrated. Now we have Kindles, Nooks, and our phones to read off of, and me being a Kindle owner, I definitely think itâ€™s easier to read with one, and itâ€™s saving more trees! Eventually, when books get published, theyâ€™ll be getting published to the Kindle store anyways.

  1. I love books. I love smelling books.

  2. Itâ€™s more expensive to burn a Kindle than it is a paperback.

  3. I understand what you mean about kindles and e-readers being more efficient, but I prefer to have a substantial book in my hand, and an added pet peeve is that I canâ€™t instantly jump to any page in the book (which I do often because I like to re-read books and simply skip to the good parts).

  4. Why would books get published only to Kindle stores? A lot of people like books way more than reading off of an electronic deviceâ€¦
