And what does it smell like? Ozone, I’ll bet.

Totally 100% agree with you. Plus, I can borrow books from my library without having to schlep down their to get the book and back again to return.

I can’t imagine that kids books will ever be fully digitalized until we’re at the Holodeck stage of technology. Toddlers particularly seem to live for textured and pop up books.

That last point is a good one. I remember seeing the single shelf of large print books at the library when I was a child and feeling quite sorry for people who were stuck with such a small and mainstream selection of reading material. It seemed unfair since elderly people presumably have more time to read than working…

I’m in that age range, and while it took me a few years to come around to an ereader, I now love mine as well. There are some sensory qualities to paper books that are hard to deny. On the other hand, books are fucking heavy. It’s difficult to travel with them if you’re a fast or a moody reader (and I’m both), and…

I share you enthusiasm for digital book. I very recently donated the bulk of my personal “real” book collection and found it very freeing. Books are great, but they take up so much space. It’s so much nicer to be able to carry your entire library in such a small device. I have no nostalgia for CDs, records, DVDs or…

ENDLESS BOOKS. FREE CLASSICS.
I mean...I like to hold a book too, but damn. Until someone opens a bookstore with free classics in my bedroom and I have a free book carrier to follow me everywhere, I gotta stick with my kobo.

There is room for both!!

I am totally the same way. I LOVE ordering a book at midnight, sitting up in bed...and zoom, it’s there. I love going on vacation with a pile of new books on my tablet.

Everyone who actually uses pens a lot (and I do, since I’m in design) knows that the G2's are literally the only one that matters.

I like my e reader too. Especially great on vacation!

You have good opinions.

Bic Cristal pens are shit. They’re the ones we give out to the extras on set to fill out their paperwork because we know we won’t get them back.

I find this to be an unpopular opinion among my largely 35-50 year old friends, but goddam I love my e-reader and I don’t care who knows it. It has that nice e-ink thing so it looks just like a novel. I can carry a kajillion books in one tiny package. It remembers what page I was on. I needed a third book in a trilogy…

Juicy great news. XD News outlets are (rightfully) saying “nevermind the salacious stuff, Trump colluded with the Putin government!” but, y’know, I gotta be me. Salacious bits first, then the full horror of what he’s done to international relations.

He wasn’t impeached. He went through impeachment hearings. No sitting president has ever been impeached.

After I read about this, I was reminded that Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about a consensual blow job.

This is nothing, the people that elected this idiot won’t give a shit. We’re fucked...

Yes. There is a food delivery guy that regularly parks in the blue spots in my mixed-use building. After he parked in the blue loading zone between the two parking spots I started questioning if maybe he has earned the status.

I cannot imagine Trump’s true supporters caring if he did the nasty with all the prostitutes in Russia and then some, urine streams and all.
