Comments on: The Necessity of the Medium and Other Fallacies http://chamberfour.com/2009/03/20/the-necessity-of-the-medium/ for readers of books and ebooks Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:43:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nico Vreeland http://chamberfour.com/2009/03/20/the-necessity-of-the-medium/comment-page-1/#comment-305 Nico Vreeland Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:31:30 +0000 http://chamberfour.com/?p=2028#comment-305 Thanks for your comments, Ricardo. I think it is a kind of fetishism to love paper books over ebooks. Which is fine with me, as long as those fetishists acknowledge that ebooks are functionally as worthwhile. The people that dismiss ebooks out-of-hand because they love paper books are, I think, missing out. Thanks for your comments, Ricardo.

In may case, lack of space and money to buy books is pivotal. While I have downloaded hundreds of marvelous e-books, I barely can afford a paper one from time to time. And the fanatic pro-paper postion I have encountered in many people, with no regards to age, seems to me a kind of fetishism. I am used to read on screen after seven yeras doing it and my eyes are OK. I don't even print e-books, since all my point is tosave resources. My only problem is when there is no electricity or the computer crash, or when you want to read while on the move.Of course I don't own a kindle! Great article.
