I could do this - I don't need much more than a laptop, pen, paper and a cellphone to work, albeit not ideally - but I have 10.000-plus books, I don't think there is a fix for that (relying on public libraries isn't logistically feasible). Yes, the idea of moving is very worrisome.
- tim333 10y agoI used to buy a load of physical books but my useage has mostly been replaced by ebooks and similar electronic sources. The paper books are still around but not used so much.
- mcphage 10y agoThat works really well for fiction, but with art books you're generally going to be stuck with low resolution, looking at a tiny screen.
- frostburg 10y agoYes, exactly. Sometimes access to high resolution scans of the material is included with purchase (I recall the Taschen books on the history of typefaces and the Modernist Cuisine set offering some form of this), but not nearly often enough. A lot of books are also simply unavailable as ebooks (like Bertin's Semiology of Graphics).
