Last night I finished reading Bossypants (it’s Tina Fey’s autobiography for those of you who are stupid and/or dumb) but this isn’t a review about that, it’s my review of eBooks. WHAT A TWIST, RIGHT?!

Bossypants was the first eBook I bought and read all the way through. When iBooks first came out I did download a few of the free books, but I never read them. Mainly because the iPhone screen is too small to read a book, but now that I have an iPad (BRAG BRAG BRAG) I thought I’d use it for something other than cutting rope and feeding candy to some creature thing.

I’m not sure why I chose Bossypants to read. I was just staring at iBooks thinking of something to read, and then I remembered Tina Fey had a book out. I do so very like her. So I bought it. It cost $20. TWENTY DOLLARS! That’s almost as much as a real actual book. I was thrown by the price at first and I thought about just going to buy the book at a store but it was 10pm and I wasn’t wearing pants so I couldn’t, so I just decided to throw caution to the wind! (Yes, I am quite the dare devil…ladies)

Once I started reading I liked it. I was able to lay down and read a lot easier than if I was reading a book, plus I was able to stop once in a while and quickly check Twitter which was good, but also a distraction. 

One of the biggest downs to it was that since I didn’t want to take my iPad into the toilet with me I couldn’t read while I poop. I like to read while I poop, but even without the extra reading/pooping time with the book, I still finished it faster than I do with most books, which I think was because I constantly had it with me where as with a book I usually just leave beside the toilet to read while I’m pooping (You thought the pooping part was over, but now it’s back! MORE POOP!)

When I finished the book the first thing I thought was “That was good, I should buy it” then I remembered I did buy it. My brain is still wired to want the physical copies of books. It doesn’t want the physical copies of music or movies. Maybe it’s because I’m pretentious and want to display my books like trophies “WHY YES, PEASANT, I HAVE READ ALL THOSE BOOKS! MARVEL AT MY ABILITY TO READ AND SACRIFICE VIRGINS IN MY HONOR!”

In the end tho, I probably will buy more digital copies of books. They’re easier to buy and read. Also, because in the future there will be no more paper because trees will be extinct. Also we will all live on the moon!

The End.
