Cuckservatism is a failed ideology. I, for one, welcome the communist revolution. Then the baizuos shall know oppression.

>Major New York Times bestseller
Is this the biggest sign that a book is going to be a pile of shit?

Ebook Pros:
>Easy to use endnotes, just click the note and read it instead of flipping to the end of the book
>Quick dictionary for words you're unfamiliar with (this doesn't help much to build vocabulary unless you write the words down though)
>Can store hundreds of books in a smaller space than one paper book. Perfect for travelling
>Some readers have backlit screens, letting you read easier in areas with less-than-ideal light
>Pirating. Get all your books for free, never take books away from others who would read them.

Ebook Cons:
>Battery life. They usually last quite a long time, but the fact it can die is something that paper books have over it
>No physical sense of progression that you're moving through a book. All you see in the ebook is a percentage counter increase, whereas a paper book lets you see and feel that you're moving along it.
>When pirating, the spacing can be all fucked up if you got a bad copy. I think this can be fixed in Calibre setting but I haven't been able to do it.

In general, I use ebooks when I'm out of the house and for longer, more complex books (or ones with lots of endnotes). I use paper books for easy reads at home.
