Growing up, I had two loves, and one of them was technology. My dad was a
software engineer for 30 years, and some of my earliest childhood memories
are of learning how to navigate a gigantic grey Windows 98 desktop
computer. I watched my two older brothers in a constant trade of old
gadgets for new ones, and I fully embraced the quality that makes
technology so beautiful: constant change and innovation.
.
But a couple of years ago, as I flicked through the pages of an e-book on
a tablet device, I failed to see that beauty. Amazon, Apple and Barnes &
Noble had taken my other love books, and cheapened it to a seemingly
endless PDF file.
.
I often struggle to articulate why I feel so strongly about the
preservation of print books. It often ends up sounding like a sentimental
rant that focuses solely on the aesthetic rather than practical appeal.
So, for my fellow book traditionalists, here are five logical reasons why
print books are better than e-books (in no particular order).
.
1. Buying print books supports the local economy, and helps to keep your
favorite bookshops in business.

2. Not every print book has an electronic twin.

3. Theyre not as irrelevant as youd think.
.
Though Amazon would like you to believe that old-school books are out,
according to a June 2013 study published by the PEW Research Center, 75
percent of people aged 16-29 said they had read at least one print book in
the previous year. And even within circles that have embraced the use of
e-readers, nearly 90 percent continue to read physical volumes.

4. Your physical copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will never
run of out battery.

.
5. Because all e-books are essentially knockoffs of the real thing.
