That even extended so far as to not allowing anyone to sign my yearbooks (and that isn't just an excuse from someone who didn't have offers-- I'd sign the yearbooks of others, and not offer mine in return.) I've always felt writing in books to be some sort of vandalism. So in that respect, there is no difference between my own paper books and my ebooks-- there never is writing in any of them (unless it came with the book-- most of my deadtree books I buy used hardbacks over the internet-- but most of the books that I buy are science non-fiction hardbacks that mostly seem to have never been read once.)
