also en printing: i have no space for my books, i live in a small apartment. i was only able ho buy the small one. now my books are in the cellar in the boxes. i have no place for them.
plus, books are former trees. we can do better than cutting trees for books.
our bigger problem is hhat publishers sell drm protected ebooks that can be only opened on their devices with their proprietary software.
but now we have smashwords! that is a drm free ebook store. and they have an app on fdroid store.
Printed books — We should print our private chats and valuable articles on paper. This is the only thing that lasts. I can name a few examples of people really understand this.
