15 days ago I went to the bookstore and bought a book. I liked it a lot but as I read it I thought I would have preferred the ebook. To the point that I would almost buy the ebook too. I know, I would spend another 12 euros in addition to the 35 already spent and it would not make sense, but really in that book I lacked the pop up notes, the possibility to choose the font, to enlarge it if I am slightly more tired and so on. There is nothing to do, I have never had the fetish of the book (except if it is really old, 1800 or early 1900 at the most) as a physical object, only the love for the information that is inside. Of course, there are books for which the printed book is important, such as those of art, but it is different.
