Yeah, get rid of those computer books.
That's what the internet + ebooks are for.
Unless a book has a special meaning to me personally or is considered life changing, I rarely keep any physical books.
- tacocataco 5y agoThe same is true for music with me as well. It's either Vinyl or free car radio/streaming.
- ggsp 5y agoInteresting—I find I have a hard time reading technical books on my ebook reader. When I read fiction, it’s usually a linear process, making the reader ideal: read, swipe, repeat until done. With technical books, I often need to jump to another section, which is so much slower and more painful than with dead trees. Code formatting also tends to be abysmal on my reader—although books are not the best for this either. Maybe I’m not using my device to the fullest?
- barnabee 5y agoI have never found a solution for this. At my desk, with multiple extra screens and a keyboard and mouse for searching and rapid navigation, a PDF is sometimes a decent enough alternative but for non-computer based hobbies as well as reading reference books more casually / when not actually needing to be at my computer I have been unable to find anything close to paper books.
