Being able to hold the book and feel the weight of it, and understand the hard work the author put into this. The author probably spent a year writing it just for me to finish it in a day. There's something romantic about that. I'll never own a device where I can read a book electronically because I don't want to ruin the relationship I have with paper.
I used to (and somewhat still do) feel that love for physical books, but man, if you like to read Kindle Paperwhites are GOAT. The convenience of taking your whole library anywhere you want + the ease of instantly downloading any book you want + ability to read it with one hand, that all ended up surpassing my love of physical paper and I'm now a believer.
And it's totally unsurprising that someone as ignorant and intellectually lazy as Wooderson would hate books.
