I just don&#8217;t get them.

That&#8217;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&#8217;t mind reading other stuff on the net just not fiction. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get why. I have before printed off stuff and tried to read it, but I think the fact that it&#8217;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&#8217;s as good a reason as any. Strange huh, I&#8217;m an internet &#8216;professional&#8217; and one of my favourite things to do in my spare time is hangout online&#8230;..<br \/><i>soundtrack: &#8220;You Don&#8217;t know me&#8221; by Armand Van Helden  <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate e-books.
