Maybe a cheap paperback. What about the hardcopy version - the paper inside might be flexible but the book as a whole is not. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes you don't want that flexibility.



I don't think books are that survivable against the first two. To answer your point below - I won't be taking either close to the beach or anywhere that's not at least paved.



Surely, a temporary problem.



And they might have termites or some kind of ant in them too with age...



Consider that your huge library might actually fit onto one E-book, thus leaving that space free for new items, and you might be happier to tolerate it all.
Wrong foot first when raising from bed this morning, eh? That's a nice chain of absurd replies made for the sake of just objecting to what I said - no matter how absurd the objection is. If I wouldn't know that you and me use to have no business with each other anyway I could be tempted to think you want to provoke me for some reason.
