I don't know! I encounter this a lot too. I remember when I first heard about ebook readers. It was in a really old article by Stephen King in
Entertainment Weekly. He said he loved his Kindle and that stories were stories whether they be in a book, on a screen, or on an audiobook, and I feel the same way. If the book is good, you don't notice any more that it's on an ebook reader. But, people don't understand.
