5: hyperlinks to footnotes are the worst, you have a tiny, tiny little target to tap that might be inside the much larger area of space which will turn the page when tapped, and usually they are actually to endnotes rather than footnotes - footnotes are at the bottom of the page they are referred to upon, rather than halfway across the book at the end of the chapter.
A real footnote sits at the bottom of the page and is visible the moment you turn the page, alerting you for the tiny little sign pointing to it somewhere in the text.
9: you can steal the dust jacket from a similarly sized book and cover up the fact that you are reading Fannie’s First Gape or whatever else you’re embarrassed about, y’know; hell, you could even rip the cover off entirely if it’s a paperback and you don’t care about the book’s condition.
- HKH2 2y ago9. It's not about being embarrassed. I just don't need discussions about the book that I'm reading or even about the fact that I am reading a book at all.
