Yes. And eBooks suck. A friend is making me read a book on anarcho-capitalism. The meatspace form is way to expensive for my taste, whereas the eBook is only $25. But in order for it to be like a real book, where I can write my brain farts in the margins, underline things, etc., I had to remove the DRM and OCR it so that my typical PDF reader can txt2speech it. Pfft. The take-home is that books are obsolete whatever their delivery platform. "Books" like this one should really be a collection of essays ... or maybe a twitter thread. >8^D
