As if Trump brandishing a bible wasn't cringe worthy enough we now
have the pile of ever changing book titles on Alan Kohler's desk when
presenting his finance report on ABC News!

Yeah, but reading the titles is more interesting than the bullshit he sprouts.

Why? E-Books take up no space and are much easier to read and handle.

You need an e-reader in order to read them. I don't need an e-reader to
read real books.

You can read e-books on a phone or tablet.

I do read e-books - on my iPad - where a paper version isn't available.
I don't need an iPad to read a real book.

Sad to say, I stopped reading books about 23 years ago. Went form
having 2 or 3 books on the go to none as soon as I got my own Internet
access.

That might be your preference, personally I even print out
long articles and documentation from the web to read on paper
in preference to a computer screen.

Ditto, although I made the mistake recently of not seeing the page count
on a spec that I printed. I came back to the printer to find 350 pages
of it there :(

People read websites, including news websites on their phone all the
time, when they are on a train or bus. Why not a book?

Could be worse, with one of my printers that would have meant finding
them all over the floor (and then trying to pick them up while
preserving the page order)!
