Wolf – “Why should it be any worse than using a paper book?”
Short answer: Tradition.
Ah, so had you been around 500 years ago, you would have opposed learning from printed seforim. You’d be there, standing on your soapbox (yes, I know that’s an anachronism) screaming about printed books that weren’t written by hand.
Yes, after a while the tradition evolves, especially after the porkay ol are poretz geder,
Apparently, according to you, the people who advocated learning from non-handwritten seforim were “porkay ol” and “poretz geder.”
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?
