Physical books are more enjoyable to read than electronic. And if you read a lot, like a book every week, the cost will add up. 52 books at $15 = $780 per year. A lot of money for a poor person.
Agreed. And if you're an avid reader purchasing your own books, space quickly becomes an issue too.
I prefer to buy my own but that might be a privileged position. There's certainly value in being able to borrow them.
I don't mind electronic for the convenience, but holding the real thing in your hands, and knowing it can't be fucked with by asshole censors, feels good.
