10/26 Reading Comments

We all know that we shouldn't judge the book by its cover, but it is also true that a good cover could lure a reader in and make them discover a great book. I was once, too, was interested by a cover of a book, was interested enough to look it up, and finally decided to buy it. Content of the video and the article, though, delve even deeper into this matter, when book publishers have to also consider the existence of e-books. Manga and video games I own are almost all in physical form, but sometimes I consider things like moving, my bookshelf that is almost full, and I consider buying things in digital from now on. However, some feelings still keep me in the physical world, the excitement when I unwrap the plastic cover and when I open to see the first page is still there. Good designs and some extra precious values that come with it add to that excitement even more. There's also the feeling that when things are in your hand and it feels like you really "own" them, unlike when you buy things digital. Reading the article and watching the video for this week remind me of those merits, and I think I'll still keep buying things physical for a while.
