Yeah, my dog ears always ended up undoing themselves as soon as I opened the book to the point where the pages weren't even really creased when I read it again. I can never tell where I've dog-earred previously. The only damage that I dislike doing to books is when I have them all in my purse (at any given time, I could have 3 books in my purse), sometimes a corner of the cover will bend and it makes me sad, because the covers are pretty. Unless I have to choose by translation or edition or something important, I'll almost always shell out more money to have a prettier cover. I just have to!
Hux takes books out from my personal library and he says he only noticed a slight crease in one of my books, and it was a book I read dozens of times. He scolds me, however, on my habit of facing the book down on the bed pages open, because that's supposed to hurt the spine. I do that a lot because I'm a multitasker/I have ADD and sometimes have to go between reading a page online, reading a book, and listening to music. XD
I'm sure Miriel wouldn't toss a point and shoot camera around. That's just kind of silly since they are kind of pricy as compared to a 2 dollar book at a used book store and I'm sure she wouldn't disrespect her own property that she worked hard for in her business in such a way where it wouldn't actually work anymore (drop a camera once and sometimes it's just kaput :x), that'd just be silly. I don't know what that has to do with dog-ears!
