I hate e-books. I just don’t get them. I am not comfortable reading reams and reams of fiction on my pc, I don’t have a handheld anything so I have never tried on one, but I can’t really see myself using one to read a book. I do read comics online, but only for exclusives {such as Ellis’s “Super Idol” over at artbomb.net} or the odd Dot-Comic over at Marvel. That’s either for an exclusive or I just want to check something out. I could not and would not read my normal monthly comics in an electronic format, nor would I read a book in that format. The only exception would be if I could not get it elsewhere. The thing is I don’t mind reading other stuff on the net just not fiction.
I don’t get why. I have before printed off stuff and tried to read it, but I think the fact that it’s not bound nicely is what stops that from working for me, or maybe even the page sizes. An A4 page of text is not exactly appealing, but a smaller novel size page can be. I guess that’s as good a reason as any. Strange huh, I’m an internet ‘professional’ and one of my favourite things to do in my spare time is hangout online…..
