I literally cannot focus when I'm reading online for some reason + I love looking at my books on my bookshelf, it makes me feel smart

Physical! Physical! I hate how libraries will get ebooks and then that's what I'm supposed to learn from. I hate tabbing back and forth between the """book""" and the browser. I hate having to scroll through a list of bookmarks, I hate not being able to hold my fingers in several places within the book at the same time so I can quickly switch back and forth. I can't imagine how people google, read and take notes all on the same device. If I had the time and resources I would set up a sewing machine so I can print and bind my own books.
