According to USA Today, SUP is at the forefront of sociology. Our demands for privacy are not only outmoded and outdated, they are not socially beneficial.

I don't like this society. Can I please have interstellar travel now so I can go elsewhere?

Yep. What's sad is that even Fahrenheit 451 is coming true. They aren't burning the books, though. They're digitizing them, making them into convenient little travel sized bits that slowly but surely are never getting read again.

Hell, when Twilight came out, I was happy. Thrilled. It got my younger cousin, who hadn't read a book in YEARS, to read the entire series.

They can't them away! :<

I can't stand reading ebooks. And it's just not the same as having a physical copy. Nothing beats the smell of an old, well-loved book.

I agree! (*cough* That's why I have a bookshelf full, and boxes full, and drawers full...I think more of my room is devoted to books than clothes)

books=love.

Excuse me, but they are. >_<

And there's nothing wrong with digitizing books, just like there was nothing wrong with going from clay tablets to papyrus to parchment to paper. I for one would rather carry my ten textbooks on my e-reader than having to lug 300-page hardcover books so I can study for my exams during my lunch break at work.
