I can now read and exercise thanks to ebooks. Whaa? Typically in the evening/night I walk quickly while reading from my ebook screen, then sprint until I'm about to burst or collapse, resume reading and walking fast until I'm ready to sprint again, then read&walk again, repeating this for 30 minutes to over an hour. It's great! No way I could do it with a regular paperback.
- K0SM0S 4y agoThey say that "books and exercise" are the foundations of a good living. I find it amazing that one helps you do the other, though. Especially with audiobooks: read as you train, train as you read.
- martin_a 4y ago> I can now read and exercise thanks to ebooks. Woah! I've tried that and failed badly. :-D Might be due to the fact that I'm lifting weights but I can't stand audio books while doing that. Need some Metal/EDM/whatever to keep me going, E-Books totally ruin it for me.
- ivansavz 4y agoYou might be interested to try generating an audio stream from the eBook you're reading. Instead of bying a specialized "audiobook" format, you can just use the built-in text to speech too for your OS: See info and sample here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30053340 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30053340
