Mixed emotions about them.
* hauling books around at college damaged my back
* classic Microsoft texts like ASP v1.0 and SQL Server v1.0 make great monitor height boosters
* waiting for a Commodore 64 book to be delivered at the local library in the 80s taught me extreme patience
* you can’t flick through an ebook quit like a real book
* one of the favorite pastimes was the personal collection of books you inherit when you leave your old job
* a shelf full of obscure titles makes you look impressive to passers by
- frosted-flakes 8y agoI don't use e-readers much myself, but I do have a Kobo e-reader (Toronto-based company bought by Rakuten a few years ago), and I was surprised to see how effective the rapid page turn feature they added is. Pressing and holding along the edge of the screen quickly flips through the pages at a speed where you can just catch the gist of the page.
