Not necessarily, you can self-host. I also listed it as a backup, for actual storage on thumb drives, SD cards, etc. It’s really not difficult, files are far more secure and safe than a physical book, which itself degrades upon use.
Mods have been getting far, far more advanced in recent years, as in the last 1-2. Real time reflections were added recently, along with real shadows.
And if you store it in the cloud, and in thumb drives, they will be there even if your home burns down, and far more of em too.
That’s not what I’m referring to. If you have an epub or similar file, you own it. You can store it, and delete it at your own whim.
That’s exactly the difference, organizational structure and levels. Effectiveness or otherwise notwithstanding.
Depends on what you consider to be a Vanguard, whether you mean an actual, defined party or simply more educated, radicalized proles leading others.

Depends on the format, you can absolutely own ebooks.
