    But you proved the exact opposite point. Books are insanely trivial to produce, therefore treating them however you want us entirely appropriate.

      There is some form of unspoken decency around how we treat books and knowledge that transcends mere utilitarian arguments. I think.

        Again though, the knowledge itself is the important part, the individual copy out of millions of identical copies is not. Anything that makes it easier for someone to read and learn is infinitely more important than the individual copy that they read it from. You have to ask yourself, do you care more about the physical book than you do about someone actually reading it?

          lol no. Your disrespect for the written word will not go down in history as the cheeky joke you wish.

          … and if you’re not joking, reality will not be kind to your ilk.
