Name something more important for reading.

>> No.17663608

If I wasn't living in a literal basement, and If I had some cash to spend, the first thing I would buy is a nice reading chair. I usually alternative between pacing back and forth with the book, reading in my shitty computer chair, or sitting against the wall, and everywhere I sit my back starts hurting after 15 minutes. No rest for the wicked, huh

Silence. I just want silence, bros. I have upstairs neighbors who blast rap music and have loud arguments in the morning with a kid who uses his remote control car as an escape from the violence. The library I go to is a loud environment and I end up doing most of my reading in caribou.

If you have silence and live in a quiet suburb or are at the top of an apartment building, don't take the silence for granted. Silence is a priceless commodity that can be taken from you legally at any given moment.

I got a Pocketbook Touch HD 3. Super nice, VERY LIGHTWEIGHT, has warm light, and supports so many formats. It even has an android/ios app so I can sync what I am reading between the e-reader and the phone.... which is super great if I don't have my e-reader on me :)

They also released a brand new color eink reader too. I don't have any use for it, but it's good for technical stuff like programming/academic books.
