Yea, for me my Kindle just didnt work. I always have had one since they were first released, but it was always hard to keep the habit between book.
Having a nice library of paper books, for whatever reason, has worked a lot better for me. I think it’s passively seeing them around the house and in the background always considering what is next.
This last round I couldn’t decide what to dig in to after I’d finished True Grit, so I spent a few minutes browsing what we had on hand and it was just… a very pleasant experience.
Also, unless you pirate ebooks or have access to a library that offers them, used paperbacks are actually much cheaper than buying ebooks.
- marcus_holmes 2mo agoYeah I pirate my ebooks unless they can be bought DRM-free (which a few can). On principle, because I want to actually own the things I buy. I used to have paper books. But I found they were just a massive pain in the arse to carry around, and move. They became very expensive, very inconvenient wallpaper. I gave them all away to a charity shop and bought an e-reader instead. Now I carry around 250 books in my pocket wherever I go. It's liberating.
