Individuals: What? No Why
And then all of a sudden verbal confrontation began, revealing that physical books are better... The smell, the touch, the hold, the vibe of physical books, the tangibility aspects are fundamental and that, you can not embrace a PC..!
I regard your assessment, however genuinely in the event that if you can't acknowledge my decision about myself or my choices, then you folks have no privilege to call yourself reading addicts/ readers. (Sorry? Not sorry!)
The propensity for reading advances tolerance, regarding the distinctions. It shows persistence, a feeling of understanding which, I believe, some readers lack. Readers are assumed to be receptive.
In fact, if I ever needed to smell something I will prefer smelling roses. If there should be an occurrence of embrace, I will embrace my mom. On the off chance that If I need to feel the vibe, I will feel the words/the substance by the creator, not the organization.
I have heard and experienced segregations based on religious values, sexual orientations, regional and status differences. But, design/ format segregation? It was new to me. I felt stunned and disgust, both at the same time. I couldn't trust my eyes reading people reactions about ebooks. I never thought that readers will really spook you (or casually bully you) for reading and adoring ebooks.
Folks! a writer has exhibited his/her work, which may have taken much time and efforts; they may had restless evenings and all you cherish is the smell of paper and the feel of book. Seriously, if the sensuality of the book, is all that mattered to you, then you can not understand the literary efforts of William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, John Green. Then people would had known the papers from publication houses only. And instead they would talk like, 'hey! have you smelled and embraced the bundle of papers from XYZ Publishers? Oh they are wonderful.'
Shouldn't something be said about the content. I appreciate ebooks in light of the fact that it is about content. Don't take me wrong, I am not against physical books nor I will judge somebody who prefers hard reading. But, I had bitter experience of people's judgement about my preferences. I have been unfriended and obstructed by few individuals simply because I LOVE READING EBOOKS. To those, all I want to say is i will CONTINUE READING AND PREFERRING EBOOKS.
For me, the content of book is VERY IMPORTANT(and I think it is important for other readers too). I adore 'THE BOOK THIEF' by Markus Zusak not because of its configuration but rather how insightfully and wonderfully he portrayed DEATH- the NARRATOR of the story. I appreciate Nicola YOON and her views about stereotyping that how profoundly one may hurt others life and how the little humbleness may prevent the other individual from conferring suicide in THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR. I adore the way John Green depicted the battle of unfulfilled dreams and wishes, and how he portrayed certain expectations of disease tolerant in THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. I adore the writing style of Stephanie Garber, that instantly catches the reader's attention in couple of minutes in her book CARAVAL. I cherish how Jacqueline Middleton have depicted the battle of young graduate writer in accomplishing her objectives.
I don't believe that reading a digital book will hurt writer in any sense, until or unless the digital book is free without the prior consent of the author which is clearly immoral and illegal. However, the physical books are likewise accessible in pirated /illicit forms. Irrespective of that, the majority of writers prefer their book to be published in all configurations. So, the bottom line is that Ebooks just damage the matter of Publisher houses, not authors.
In December 2016, I got the Book THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR BY NICOLA YOON by Owl Post membership box. I started reading it and thought instantly that it was fascinating yet still I was unable to appreciate its essence. Hence, I couldn't complete it.
Later in February 2017 I got the digital format of the very same book and I completed it in 3 days. Same creator, same story, same content, simply a unique configuration that I was comfortable with.I enjoy reading ebooks... How my preference is affecting any body's life? Why is it so difficult to accept?
Ebooks, books and audio books are just the way to connect with modern readers and to encourage today's generation to read. They are merely design constellations, not the principle content by the writer. As priory said, I don't hold anything against conventional methods of book reading, truth to be told I am exceptionally possessive about my books (be it hard book or soft book) but if I may have to pick book as per my choice, I will pick electronic one. I appreciate ebooks more than books.
So the lessons learnt are;
1. I never thought that people can be literary bigots and has the ability to discriminate on the basis of reading preferences.
2. I adore reading ebooks, I will read ebooks and in case if you can't accept and respect my decision (or any other opinion that is different than yours) it's your issue, not mine! (But seriously, get help!)
Piece of advise: If you may, please quit entangling things for new readers and let them pick their preferred configuration/ format that they are comfortable with. Don't be a bigot!
