f I should just get with the times and buy the ebook versions instead of bothering with the printed ones. Then I also wouldn't have to wait for delivery, I would always know where my ebooks are, I would never accidentally flip more than one page, I would spend less money, and a heavy book couldn't smack me in the face if I accidentally dropped it while reading in bed
All true -- and your enjoyment and reading retention would suffer as a consequence. Don't do it.
