Ugh me tooooooo. Paper books are still special, but between my awful attention span and the ease of checking out ebooks via my Kobo, I have also spoiled myself. But it all counts as reading!!!!

[(Anonymous)]

While I like regular physical books best, I can't deny that anyone with visual issues could really benefit from an e-reader so they don't have to try and search out large-print editions of books.

I have been totally ruined by my ereader. I simply cannot go back to reading paper books now, and it actually makes me sad. I have one that's been sitting with me a third of the way through it for over a year now. It's a good book, I just bring myself to read it. The reader has e-ink or whatever it's called, so it's really nice to read, I can adjust the font size, I don't need a bookmark, I don't need a light, it's not heavy at all, it's very portable, I can switch books in seconds. But I see people with REAL books and I want that too... but I just can't.

[pengilly]

While I don't have a strong preference for or against digital vs paper books (though I have never had an e-reader, just a Kindle I use exclusively for reading), one thing I prefer about the former format is the ease of note-taking.

1. I don't have to worry about marking up a book and lowering its resale value, should I wish to part with it. (Or have a future buyer come across my personal musings)


2. I don't have to shorten my notes or write tiny so it will fit in a margin


3. I don't have to keep an dedicated journal just to keep "notes" in for the sake of avoiding the first two issues (that might actually be a good idea though). In any case there's less friction, I wouldn't have to remember to bring a separate notebook along with my paper book

[(Anonymous)]

I'll be honest, I won't ever go back to physical books after I discovered that I could tap a word on my Kindle to get a dictionary definition for it. This is a lifesaver for me since most of the books I buy are in my second language as a way to practice it/keep my skills sharp.

I love my ereader, but I still love the feel of a physical book more.

[(Anonymous)]

Think of it this way, at least you're still reading books. So many people refuse to read and that's sad. An ereader is an accessibility tool, and a book is still a book whether its in paper or digital format.

[(Anonymous)]

I was a staunch 'paper books 4ever' person until I got a Kindle for cheap. It's just so nice on trips to be able to go from bringing along a stack of 4-5 books to just bringing along my e-reader instead.

[(Anonymous)]

I prefer ereaders for so many reasons! I have three that I use constantly. I have a Kindle Paperwhite and a Kindle Basic. The Basic is on my nightstand and I fall asleep reading every night and it turns off automatically. I love that! The Paperwhite sits next to my comfy chair where I have my coffee every morning and also where I go to take breaks during the day. I love that the position will sync between the two. If I read ten pages at bedtime, the other will skip forward when I wake it in the morning.

My third ereader is the first I’ve had outside of the Kindle ecosystem in about fifteen years. I have an Xteink X4 that is ALWAYS on me. It doesn’t sync with my other readers or audiobooks like the Kindles do so I always read a different book on there than on my kindles and also different from whatever I’m listening to on Audible. I grab it instead of my phone during idle moments and it helped me break the doomscrolling habit.

I love the look of e-ink. It’s so easy on my eyes. But I was an early adopter of ereaders (long before e-ink!) and my main reason is that books take up a lot of space and they weigh a lot. I had to get rid of over 95% of my collection when I moved because I couldn’t afford the cost to transport that much weight. Physical books are impractical for me so I only buy them if it’s something I really love and usually I’ll go for whatever edition is the most visually pleasing to me.

Fourth Wing would simply be a terrible YA series if not for the smutty romance. Unfortunately, both the romance and the smut suck too, leaving the first book as truly god-awful.

[(Anonymous)]

My friend read this because there's a lot of overlap of the Fourth Wing and HTTYD fandoms and he was like, "It is SO bad. It is so, so bad. If all smutty YA is this bad... I don't want to read any of it." (I have not read it.)

[(Anonymous)]

....aren't smut and YA mutually exclusive?

I think it should be illegal to have film posters where the characters are shown in a line, and the names of the actors underneath don't match up to the person above them.

The Restaurant Wars episodes of Top Chef are my least favorite episodes.

I even skip them sometimes.

They're just so stressful.

Also Quickfires Main Challenges

I am so sick of fans of The Expanse coming into other fandoms. They are worse than Firefly fans for that.

I laugh but also, true answer: none! Those are most likely synthetic, but in the off chance they are actual bird feathers, 1 - they're not from parrots, but some domesticated fowl. Too small for goose but probably hen or farmed pheasant. 2 - they aren't harvested by killing birds, anymore, they're cast-offs. 3 - they're dyed to look like parrot-colors anyway.

90% of the bird feathers you see in the craft industry are goose, a handful are pheasant or peahen if they need fancy speckled. Not including specific species tail feathers (peacock, pheasant). If it's a bird being harvested for food, then yes they'll harvest all the feathers too, but they don't just kill birds for the feathers anymore. It's easier to dye goose and chicken feathers than it is to kill birds.

Unless you mean ICly in which case lmao yeah Victorian fashion was gross.
