What's the 'digital' equivalent of this and do we digital-only readers, of which there are dozens, have a way of experiencing this?
I have no physical books, but lots of ebooks. I sometimes like to open up Calibre and stare at the unread ones and pick what to read next. When there's nothing unread in Calibre I'll go to Goodreads (want to read list).
- skydhash 4y agoApart from the act of consuming content, there is no equivalent. My farther had a somewhat huge library (~700 books), while my collection is digital. The tactility makes it easier to remember the books and rereading it always feels different. I hardly reread fiction books in electronic format, while I’d happily do so with a physical book.
- usrusr 4y agoOne well known digital equivalent would be Steam Libraries. Not books, but also famous for accumulating endless "perhaps one day" (and surely less romanticized). On the topic of books, my reading effectively stopped when I started reading an "entered the public domain" piece from the kindle app. Without realizing that in print it would be a one foot anthology. Unwilling to give up but also unwilling to press on. Wouldn't have happened in print.
