"Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library."
--John Waters
(I will say, that in this economy, feel free to just treat this as a pretty quote.)

"Reading was like an addiction; I read while I ate, on the train, in bed until late at night, in school, where I'd keep the book hidden so I could read during class."

Nobody should ever judge anybody for how they choose to read.
I love Amazon as little as the next person, but an e-reader like the Kindle has accessibility features that simply don't exist on physical books.
My Kindle also allows a disabled person like me to buy books without having to go out to places all the time. And it allows someone like me, whose primary language is English and living in a country where books in English are few and far in between, to be able to get the books I want easily and cheaply.
There are people who need audiobooks to be able to enjoy books at all. My almost completely blind grandmother is able to have books in her life again, after not being able to read for many years.
It's a good thing that books are available in different formats now. Books should be accessible for everybody.
