Nice E-Reader!

Technically, the book is just the text. The particular format is a codex.

The reason I use books is because there's no power and a lot of time during the zombie apocalypse.

Yes, how dare people read the same thing in a different way.

Whoever made this comic must have no idea what an e-reader really is..

Is it so wrong to like both?

I love books, and will definitely continue to purchase real books. However, the Nook is ridiculously convenient and makes my luggage weigh much less. Before I bought my Nook, I would bring at least five books on every vacation I went on. My Nook is a space and weight saver.

This vs this

Yes, I prefer books because they don't break when you beat the shit out of people with them.

I actually read more with ebooks. The seven and a half hours I usually waste at work with the Internet I can now waste with literature.

I used to think that way until I got one as a present. Then the convenience, by fuck THE CONVENIENCE. Plus Warhammer novels aren't on there so I still get to buy real books from time to time. Amazon even fixed my potential finance crisis beforehand. I get drunk and buy 200 dollars worth of books. Wake up with stripclub caliber regret, and they have a refund option if you didn't open them. The future is fuckin bright, man.

The e-reader was kind of neat. Too bad it was so hard to find those little cards.

Where did Nintendo sell them?

Meh. I love real books. I love travelling with the e-reader and keeping technical documents on it so I don't have to travel with a big old bag of stuff.

Michi_THE_Awesome · 6 months

Very little beats the aroma of books and the nice dry feel of paper betwixt my finger tips as I turn the page. I love books.

I've seen this same comic reposted so many times it's not even close to funny anymore... How does stuff that's reposted this much make it to the front page?

POORLY. DRAWN. LINES. It deserves as much credit as possible.

That e-reader is so spineless.

e-i-e-i-doh · 6 months

What I could never understand is how it's a "one or the other" choice. When I bought my Kindle, it didn't burn every book I had in the house, nor did it smack me upside the head when I bought a paper book.

JerkyIsSuperior · 6 months

Riddle me this: how can people like the comic author call themselves book lovers while simultaneously rejecting a format in which the books are being published?

That's like saying you're keeping it real by only reading books on scrolls, or reading only hardbacks.

tl;dr, reactionary claptrap isn't funny, in fact, this comic has made me slightly angry.

people for ethical treatment for books? this will be my pet b project from now..

I just can't feel involved when I'm reading a book on my sister's Kindle. That's an odd feeling when you're reading a paragraph from a PKD novel where he's describing homeopapes, which are essentially e-books.

I know that feel when your kindle falls to the cold hard unforgiving concrete and your eyes bug out and you yell but that kindle's broken dude, and so it was.

I prefer paper books. I enjoy the tactile feeling of progression in the turning of the page, the characteristic smell of older books, and the beauty on the covers that give elegance to any shelf it fills.

I work in a medical library, and the new rage is these eReaders. Why? Because they fit perfectly into the side pocket of a lab coat.

LiudvikasT · 6 months

I wish amazon sold both ebook and paper book in a bundle for the price of one. Then I could read the convenient way and still get something to put in a shelf.

I took the e-reader, and threw it on the ground.

Kalvinator20 · 6 months

I don't like the feel of the paper, that's why I use a E-reader. But, I still read real books on occasion.

pinkswansays · 6 months

Those who are so concerned about having a "real" book must be reading the wrong kinds of books. I am usually too absorbed to give any shits as to the book "feeling" real.

dbagexterminator · 6 months

This is the only e-reader I will ever acknowledge.

not to mention that for every digital book on e-reader you can buy two real ones for the price.

and that for the cost of the e-reader you could have bought 10-20 real books.

yeah if you're a douche that reads a chapter each out of 20 different books every time you sit down, you might need an e-reader.

Jennyd242 · 6 months

I like to ceremoniously throw my book to the other side of the room when I've finished before putting it back on the shelf, don't think I could do that with a shitty kindle.
