Why I Hate Kindles (And Other Assorted Reading Devices).

As you probably guessed from the title, I don't like Kindles. I do not like Nooks, eReaders, or ebooks. Why? I mean, they're cool inventions. You can take them anywhere, almost like a book! Except of course a print copy of, say, The Hunger Games is much, much less likely to get stolen on a subway than an iPad. Oh, and reading in the bathtub? Thanks to that Kindle, no more wet pages! Instead, your finger slips and suddenly your $70 chunk of emotionless plastic quite literally just went down the drain.

"But an ebook is so much cheaper!" you say. True, that's all very well and good. But see, there's these things called LIBRARIES that will let you read books FOR FREE HOLY SHIT DID YOU EVER HEAR OF SUCH A THING. On another note, authors are just one more type of starving artist. They put in a lot of energy and effort into writing (I would know), and all too often they just get overlooked. By purchasing an actual book at full price straight from the publisher, you know that money's going to the creator. It's the same principle of illegally downloading music vs. buying it. Sure, you can take the cheap route, but it isn't benefiting anyone.

Here is a picture of a baby dragon because I felt guilty for ranting.
