I see ebooks and paper in much the same way I see streaming music and vinyl.

I love my vinyl collection. I love the feeling of putting on a record, the old school analogue nature of it. There's a kind of ritual in dropping the needle.

But I can't bring vinyl in the car or on a plane.

I love paper books, but they're not always the most practical thing. So ebooks are often a better solution. Which is better is really situational.

Personally, as someone who has published, a couldn't care less what medium someone uses to enjoy my novel. Ebook, paper, audiobook; the words are the same, and the words are what matter. How those words are delivered is not important.

    I would like to enjoy your novel in the form of a series of people slowly walking by me, each with a single sentence of your book tattooed on their back. Chapter headings tattooed on the side of a horse, so I can quickly glance down the street and know how soon the chapter will be ending.

    Not gonna lie, if someone actually arranged that, it would be the raddest thing that had happened in the history of the universe, and I would immediately question their sanity for picking my book to indelibly ink on a bunch of human bodies, instead of many far better options.
