From the first article: "And what about the serendipity of sharing your thoughts, and being informed by the thoughts of others, from the messages in shared books?"

Yes, serendipity is exactly what I feel when I buy a used book and discover someone has written "OMG so true" and "??????" next to entire paragraphs they've underlined. No wait, not serendipity, rage.

Per Laptop.com"I will admit, part of my annoyance at this section of the post is my utter, utter horror that there are actually people in the world who defile perfectly wonderful books by writing in them. I can’t imagine. It gives me hives."

Also that.

I like paper books. There are some good arguments for their value over ebooks, but tech writers insist on making stupid ones.
