I have too main issues with digital books. !. It doesn't smell like a book and 2. if it gets wet I'm less likely to be able to save it and will have to spend more money than a book to replace it. .-. (and also 3. I'm a notorious klutz. >>; )

Heh. I did have a relative spill grape juice (always grape juice) over one of my favorite books that I had read through three times. I bothered me to buy a new one because it didn't have the memories. :(

I just like books and get tired of staring at digital screens, but I actually quite like my e-reader. It's two main advantages are weight (I buy anthologies and such on it rather than have huge awkward books in space), and portability for travel. I used to like them when e-books were cheap, but now it's only a little cheaper to buy a new release in digital form than in print so why not get the actual book? I buy out of print stuff or classics on my e-reader now, since they are really cheap that way, even if the quality is poor. (My made-for-Kobo Lovecraft anthology is so riddled with errors I'm pretty sure they just used a spell checker and called it a day.)

lol, well I do know that Amazon also has this thing for independent authors as well. I just don't know what the whole deal with that is though sadly. But I'd love to do something like that eventually because people can make money on there, just I don't think its all that much. So it can be more so used for people interested in trying to get their name out there.

It wasn't the banana one but the starry one you did that got first. :3 Either way I still think the banana one was awesome. XD
