My Love-Hate Relationship with E-books

Oh. My. God.

I hate my teenager hormones. They’re exhausting and they are not fun at all. It feels like a slump but I have been reading Throne of Glass since yesterday and I won’t be stopping anytime soon so it is definitely not a slump. So what is this magical feeling of hatred?

I have an issue with ebooks.

I just hate myself because I don’t have the physical copy of the book so I have to bear with an e-book. But as much as I want to read Throne of Glass, the format is just so tiring to look at that I can’t get past 20 pages without taking a break. And Throne of Glass is what, like 350 pages? How am I supposed to sit through that with my cellphone? I hate the feeling of holding the phone. I already feel like my body is filled with radiation from reading on my phone. It’s not cool and it’s not great. I like what I’m reading, but I definitely don’t like the format I am reading from. I want to flip real pages and feel how far I go. I want my own copy. Agh it’s just so uncomfortable. Like sometimes I feel like my fingers are turning squishy.

Physical books are my heaven. It’s the real deal. It has the library smell from your shelf and you can’t even be less mad about it. I don’t care if the book did not have good reviews. I wouldn’t buy it in the first place if it was actually horrible. Plus, it supports the author. Nothing makes an author happier than seeing another person love their work so much.

But I don’t know.

Anyone out there who shares my hatred?

Or someone who understands hormones?

Update:

My phone fell on my face. Yeah, it hurt so bad that I got a bump. Lol. Well, physical books give those, too SO THEY’RE 60/40 on this one.
