If the author had anything meaningful to say, they would have given more context; this just comes across as pointless attention seeking.

To me it's twitter being used as it was born to be used. Instead of a multi-chapter set of tweets to try to prove some complex point the author just threw a short, vague statement into the void. Judging by the responses it worked well. Followup comments uncovered good reasons to get physical copies of books you want to read again.

Agree. I couldn't decide if:

* Supply chain issues were going to cause problems * Bookstores are closing * Books are going to be banned some how? * We should buy the books because it forces us to read more * The power grid is going to fail and we will be bored * Something else?
