What's so special about "decent books"? What if you prefer to use an Ereader? And what's wrong with Hacker News? Through HN I've found TED and KhanAcademy.

What's so special about "decent books"? What if you prefer to use an Ereader?
And what's wrong with Hacker News? Through HN I've found TED and KhanAcademy. I'll put Hacker News, TED, and KhanAcademy up against your "decent book" library for comfort and see no reason why someone would discriminate based on that. Interesting criteria you have. I'm highly skeptical of your 30% statistic.
- derrida 15y agoWhat is special about them is that I can judge their covers and thus judge the person reading them. If your e-reader permanently displays everybook you have read or showed a vague interest in at some point on your wall without seeming like its immodest bragging, then your e-reader may woo me into bed (starup idea!). I am skeptical of my 30% statistic myself, otherwise I might have had more sex.
- Psyonic 15y agoIf you've got them back to your apartment to view your books you're 75% of the way there (not true for house parties, etc, but you get my point). I really don't think many people are going to bail at that point due to a lack of displayed books.
