Comment Even real books do not have such restrictions (Score 4, Funny) 280

The lend once only is very onerous and I have never seen a good reason why. Can anyone tell me?

I lend my book(s) more than once, even to the same person.

I hate it when they try to force non-physical objects to behave like physical objects.

I guess next they will implement missing pages....

Comment Word processors detriment on books. (Score 1, Interesting) 391

Do word processors not make it too easy for writers to write bloated books?

I take the position that word processors have had a detriment on clarity of writing. It's too easy to not have to keep everything in you head when writing with a word processor.

I used to enjoy Asimov, but it seems his later books (after 1980) just got fat and I stopped reading.

And look at college textbooks. Who reads all those pages?
