Take the book printed out. It's healthy, distraction free
- sam29681749 2y agoDepends on the type of book. Although it might work for textbooks or something you would read at a desk, it wouldn't have the convenience you get from a paperback or an e-reader (eg, you can easily take out a ereader on the train, pack it for a trip, etc.)
- dusted 2y agoI do enjoy reading on dead wood as well, but for my bedtime routine, an ebook reader with an extremely weak backlight or frontlight really is the way for me, because it's slightly more convenient for me not to have to deal with room light and when I close the ebook reader, it will remember where I was. With a bookmark I often forget to put it back in, or I leave the book open and it falls to the floor causing me to forget... Also, English is my second language, so I find it very useful to be able to quickly look up the meaning of words (something I really valued about my now broken Kobo was its dictionary). I would like to point out your comment comes across as very stack-overflowy.. It's the class of comment that does not answer the question, but instead suggest a solution to a different set of problems. I don't think my OP could reasonably be interpreted of me asking about other ways of reading books :) I'm guilty of this as well, but it's not very helpful and it tends to come across as snarky rather than clever.
