E-books may represent efficiency, but they should not replace the intrinsic value of print books and the creative community behind them. The future of literature and art must focus on sustainability and health for all creators. Many authors prefer print formats, recognizing that retail indifference could lead to a culture dominated by large corporations like Amazon. Choosing e-books for perceived savings reveals a sense of entitlement that undermines the appreciation for the artistic effort involved. In the face of AI's threat to creativity, it's crucial to remember and support the individuals who bring art to life, ensuring that their value is acknowledged and sustained.
