I'm at the point now where, if I don't know what plant it is pressed at, or it's pressed at a plant with known questionable quality (like GZ), I'll pass. (That's for new pressings--the new old stock records I buy, or the rare used copy, of course are a completely different topic.)

Does a kindle count?
That's not exactly an improvement. I don't have to charge my books. Also studies show the brain doesn't hold onto information as well when read from a tablet as from a physical book. A long but interesting (to me) dive into such things:
Comparing Comprehension of a Long Text Read in Print Book and on Kindle: Where in the Text and When in the Story?
Digital reading devices such as Kindle differ from paper books with respect to the kinesthetic and tactile feedback provided to the reader, but the role of these features in reading is rarely studied empirically. This experiment compares reading of a ...

There are also audio books and movies. But your comment brings to light a thread topic I’ve thought about for some time.
Do advancements in technology equal:
A. An improvement in quality.
B. Make the product usage more convenient.
C. Make the product build more cost effective (read help a companies bottom line).
D. Something else.
As they say, you can only pick two of the above. 😁
