I recently got a kindle for my birthday after putting it off @op because I was one of those "I prefer books" kinda people and it was one of the best gifts I've gotten. You can download the Libby app and still support your library by checking out e-books through them. Good for reading through series of books and not having to constantly check out/buy new ones. Still have physical books I love but a nice alternative to that

Definitely physical books. Adds up to to whole experience. I love the smell of new book

I do have a Kobo e-reader. I use it when I’m on vacation and when the book I’m reading is really big and heavy. Not comfortable to read that in bed, I use my e-reader then. But if I like the book I still buy the physical copy

Books are way better imo. I only read Manga on my phone though

I read books to escape screens

I could never do an ereader. But, yes, my life will be hell when I have to move, thanks to these books... And that’s before I get a third bookshelf, which I need now 😅

iPad with torrented e-pubs>>

trying to get a kindle to avoid the blue light tho

the fact that u can download pretty much any book on an ipad in seconds is crazy

i have a old 2011 kindle my mom gave me but i kinda want to get a paperwhite for that warm light function + better PPI

update?

also thinkin bout that, good that an amazon alternative exists tbh

does kobo handle pdf better than kindle

for ebooks and other texts, dominant format seems to be pdf

works great, got any questions?

it has reinvigorated my reading, i read a lot more often now and I’ve been testing through books

Idk how it is on kindle. It’s still kind of subpar on kobo but it’s not really the best experience

@op i got the same device you got, whats the best font config?

Reading in the dark and getting a book instantly. But nothing beats reading a real book.

no clue bruh i dont really f*** withthe font other than the margins sometimes
check out the kobo subreddit, they got hella nice info in there. let me know if you find out anything interesting plz

send.djazz.se

found this tool you can use to send books wirelessly from pc/phone

yep!!!!! i use that allll the f***in time man its so dope

wat made u buy a new e-reader?

PDFs? Jesus Christ...

E-readers so much more convenient. It’s not even a contest

Can put a thousand books on one device. Carrying around more than 2 physical books at a time is cumbersome

Can change font type, weight and size

Can read at night without a lamp

Easier to turn pages and keep track of where you are in a book too

Plus the thousands of free ebooks online

I love holding the actual book in my hand. Looking at the cover art, the smell of the new pages, and just the act of turning each page

It all goes in to the experience of reading

Book no contest

Most people I know who are staunch physical book readers who go on to actually try an e-reader usually do a complete 180 on their opinion and admit how good an e-reader is.

Kindle Oasis is one of my favourite purchases tbh. Pretty much an unlimited book holder that's easily portable.
