No, keeping a product that is not trivial to produce in good condition is responsible behavior. Pretending it’s totally ok to treat all products as disposable is not only bad for the planet, but jouvenile and rather pathetic.
Again though, the knowledge itself is the important part, the individual copy out of millions of identical copies is not. Anything that makes it easier for someone to read and learn is infinitely more important than the individual copy that they read it from. You have to ask yourself, do you care more about the physical book than you do about someone actually reading it?

But you proved the exact opposite point. Books are insanely trivial to produce, therefore treating them however you want us entirely appropriate.
I proved nothing except your disrespect for the achievement of all humanity that came before you.
You’re being preposterous and reproving my point again.
lol no. Your disrespect for the written word will not go down in history as the cheeky joke you wish.
… and if you’re not joking, reality will not be kind to your ilk.
You’ve shown yourself to be a fool who thinks they’re smart. I’m done wasting effort on you
lol Your disrespect seems to go much further than books… Genuinely, pathetic.
There is some form of unspoken decency around how we treat books and knowledge that transcends mere utilitarian arguments. I think.
