#ScribesAndMakers 4/9: If ebooks stopped being produced, how much would you miss them?
To read? Not very much. As mentioned in previous questions, paper books are much less taxing for my disability and don't require charging objects.
As a writer, it would fuck me over dramatically. Basically all my sales are digital. Fortunately, this seems no more likely to happen than paper books going away. Although censorship is a very real threat that increasingly limits where I can publish.
