Instead, they're available as a more accessible format, but the dimensions are different from paperbacks, and most importantly, they don't have that "paperback" feel we associate with them. I don't think it's necessarily just a matter of size. For example, the quality of the paper. For example, the design of the binding. But above all, I think it's our attachment to paperbacks that supports the "paperback feel." Throughout history, standard standards have permeated our lives, particularly through modernization, due to their ease of distribution and compatibility. Nowadays, even screws, wood, and charging cables are standardized. The same is true for paperbacks. But paperbacks change along with the lives of their owners. His organizer's paperback was crushed in his backpack, so some of the pages are wrinkled. His diligent girlfriend's paperback looks like new, despite being read multiple times. Some write in it, some don't want to get it dirty, some remove the cover, some don't. Because they're palm-sized, the attachment of their owners gradually distorts the paperback. Hey, paperback, where are you headed? Thank you for watching! We'll be talking trivia, but I hope you enjoy it as entertainment, as a bit of cafe talk in the Faculty of Letters. As always, thank you.
