Re: QOTD: Friday, May 3rd
Don't you hate people who mark their place by folding over a corner of the page? They are vandals with no respect for those who follow after. And have you ever been reading a secondhand or library book and got to page 273 to find out that someone has ripped out the last few pages? That is enough to start a war over, if only we could identify the culprit.

I had a crappy book once that all the pages fell out of the second time I opened it to read. If it had been any good, I would have been prepared to keep the pages in loose form within the covers. But it was, as I mentioned, crappily written and probably deserved a printer so bad that he wouldn't buy glue that lasted.

I have never had a Kindle book with folded corners, missing pages, or binding so poor the pages fell out when opened. Even so, I would take the real thing over the digital mimic every time. I love my computer with a fierce and jealous passion, but there are some things it cannot do better than the real thing. And it's the idiosyncracies of books that make them special. Digital does bland very well, I'll give you that.
