This week’s Booking Through Thursday question is a simple — yet interesting — one:
All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?
I am definitely a product of the digital age, which is why my answer here is, “Neither.” I would much rather have a library of tens of thousands of electronic texts at my fingertips rather than a few hundred paperbacks or hardcovers.
I’m not at all interested in building my own library, so I have never felt the need to purchase lots and lots of books. Instead, I just want to read a book, absorb the story and characters, and then move on to the next one.
Plus, if I save a few trees along the way by not consuming paper products, well, that’s all the better!
