      For people in the comments: While you're lauding the printed book (which I also love, don't get me wrong) it's important to remember that ebooks are amazingly important for disabled people in terms of accessibility.

          Totally agree! I wrote a blog post titled “Why Kindle is superior to the paperback” in an attempt to bring people’s attention to the fact it makes reading so much more accessible to many people. Something many don’t realise. Dyslexic? Large print? Arthritis/dexterity problems etc

          I work for a part rural library sys now & its taught me how important ebooks are! We have a lot of homebound patrons & little public transit so a lot of people you wouldnt think'd go for ebooks do. Giving ereader tech support over the phone to those patrons is tough but rewarding

          Like I have had several people specifically say if it wasnt for the library offering ebooks they wouldn't have access to books at all. It's what pushes me to make sure those calls wrap up a success even if they can take an hour.

          Books in any format are a wonderful thing. It's awesome that ebooks have increased accessibility, though.

          Yes, and let's not forget how e-books (and book piracy, no matter what your ethical position on it is) gave access to millions of readers on the peripheries of the world, whose funds/physical access to reading materials may be more limited!

          Thank you. Low vision book readers used to cost close to a thousand bucks and were big and cumbersome. Only certain books were printed in large print. Now every person with a phone, a computer, or a table can blow the print of any book up HUGE, flip the page to white on black...

          My father who is blind reads multiple books a week via free books on tape he gets through the mail and now uses Audible via Echo to get books he wouldn't normally be able to. All forms of reading should be encouraged.

          Yeah the amount of hate for ebooks in late 2018 is weird to me. It’s a novel either way, isn’t it?

          I'm disabled and only read printed books, but that's just me. This past year has taught me the importance of e-books as far as accessibility is concerned and I'm glad they're around for people that need them. I'm glad we live in a world where we can have both.❤️

          Thank you for saying this. I too love printed books, but with R/A, it's easier to use a kindle for the bulk of my reading. And if you use library ebooks, it still contributes to sales!

          I agree 100%. I think the book market needs both types of books to continue to grow and thrive. I personally can't reed ebooks due to a disability, but I think they really made books accessible to so many more people once they started coming out.
