That's one I haven't actually heard before. Is it because you have paid more for the print book and feel you need to finish it to get value? Is it because you have so many alternatives at your fingertips on an ereader? If the book you are reading has failed to hold your attention you may in fact be better reading something else.

In my view an ereader is not every bit as good as a book. It is much much better. And wrong. I have had to again read a print book recently and much prefer an ebook. Incidentally, whilst I can infer from the context that when you say "gotten a book" you are referring to a print book. However, for many if not most of us the term book refers to the content and not the container. As has been said here before, the important thing is that you like to read, irrespective of the format you choose. I lose nothing from you preferring print books, nor do you lose anything by my preference for ebooks. We all have our differing preferences and opinions.
