Do you prefer physical books or e-books /lit/?

For me, it is physical.

E-books spelled backwards is skoob-E. As in Scooby-Doo.

Physical, its aesthetic and lets everyone know how obscure you are.

Physical, its fun and feels better to me. I dont really collect anything outside of booksr and dont really have visitors so its not to impress anybody. I do have an ereader though for things that are just to expensive or im not sure whether im going to like or not.

e-books because I'm a poorfag who steals everything and also all my music is on my computer which makes it way easier to read and listen to music at the same time

My mom is sending me a kindle for my birthday. I hope the bigger screen and e-ink will encourage my reading.

Physical, but e books are far more convenient and cheaper so they have their place

>> No.14044763

Depends on the genre. If it's philosophy I like having a physical book as it's easier to make use of footnotes, the index, and use the table of contents to contextualise your place in the overall book. Fiction it's just easier to have on a Kindle, read through once and delete.

Also I think people sometimes forget that e-readers are life-changing for people with impaired vision and that's cool

Physical. For some reason I prefer digital comics, maybe because I can appreciate the art better on a screen.

what sort of music do you listen to while you read? that would probably just distract me and i'd either start solely focusing on the reading or solely on the music.
