condemns e-books and says that one has to feel and taste the book
in one's hands, and not just absorb information but also capture the writer's feelings and intonations in a way that is impossible with these gadgets

Putin condemned e-books and said you couldn't feel "what the writer feels", unlike reading paper copies.

Most media and sources are convinced that Putin doesn't use Internet and gets all his news and reports via printouts prepared for him. pic.twitter.com/Kcdll1dnUn

As long as someone's actually reading idc, I reserve my hatred for audio"book" listeners. Reading requires active intention, audio"books" turn it into passive entertainment no better than mindless goyovision brainrotting slop

Verbal storytelling is one of the most ancient and persistant art forms. I bet you think works like the illiad and odyssey are great literary works when they're literally transcriptions of verbal tales.
I guess midwits that can't memorize thousands of stanzas for recital would like the passive act of just parroting a text in front of them.

I wonder how often individuals would change parts of epics like Iliad and Odyssey when they were the ones telling them. I mean I'd totally change parts I didn't like if I was the village bard

They are to a certain meter and use formulas for each line as a way to prevent mistakes. It would be pretty hard to change them on the fly

You shouldn't download the Odyssey. It's got a Trojan horse.

It couldn't be a question because it uses subject-auxiliary inversion.

Audiobooks. Reading to children. The paul harvey show. As a means of rhetoric normally done in public speaking (joe bidens corn pop story). Plays. Telling your friends stories for entertainment. A huge portion of small talk is literally relating short, well told stories about yourself as a form of bonding.
