Why a Print Book is Better than an E-book

1.) A print book never runs out of battery.

2.) You will never be puzzled why your print book hung up.

3.) You don't ever have to figure out how to hard reset a print book.

4.) With just enough imagination, a print book can have customized nifty animations, too (albeit on the margins, in the corner).

5.) You can't burn an e-book "in protest".

6.) When was the last time you worried about what might happen if you dropped a print book?

7.) No one ever asked someone reading a print book to turn it off during takeoff and before landing.

8.) You can lend out print books. Easily. As many times as you want. Forever.

9.) No DRM. 'Nuff said.

10.) And just how is an e-book useful when you run out of toilet paper?

Don't get me wrong: I'm a happy Kindle owner. But these things just had to be said.
