There's No Substitute for a Real Book!

Screw Kindle eReaders and the iPad
The Best Way To Read a Book Is To Pick Up A Real One.

Don’t waste your time trying to read a book on a PC, Mac, Kindle, iFadPad, Sony whatever. You want to read a book, pick up a real one. Real books have the best resolution, texture, physical feel, intuitive interface and the greatest price/ performance ratio ever. No batteries or charging required. No dongles, accessories or parts needed. A book will last more than a few lifetimes with little to no care; the same will never be true with expensive, electronic gadgets that keep coming out trying to pretend they can compete with the real deal. They can’t.

Want E-book readers to be more popular? Give them away for free in cereal boxes and charge 1/2 the price of paperbacks for your e-books and maybe you might get more people to be stupid enough to try them. Even then, if “successful", you’ll be lucky to grab less than 1% of the market. If you’re very, very lucky. And even after the 20th generation of e-readers come out, the reading experience still won’t compare to the quality a physical book provides.

So shove those couple-hundred dollar limited electronic doo-dads up you’re wazoo. Books. They’re forever. E-ink, you stink! P-U! Books. They’re where it’s at. Putzes.

Anyone ever tried to read whole books on any of these things? *shudder* Ugh. Dummies.
