>Do you like them?
I read a book every week or two so it's an easy way to spend less money also takes up less space and has nice features
>Do you think they're a valid way to consume literature or are hard copies inherently better?
yes same as with a book you're just looking at ink
>Do you have a favorite?
not really only ever bought one (h2o libra)

>read the wikipedia for 1984 and watched a video review
>when it gets brought up say I don't like it and it's trash
>people try to dispute it
>they can't because books are all subjective
>"n-no you can't say it's not politically relevant and is boring and poorly written it's one of the greatest books of all time"
>instantly filters most people
it's actually a very useful thing because you can do it for almost all media regarded as good or incredible though it only works IRL because people online are much more dishonest but it's still useful because I think two huge red flags are
>they can't tell if you've watched/read the media being talked about

A bit of context; I'm currently attending college, and I'm absolutely slumped by seeing just how soulless and corporatized the entire framework of these institutions are. Coupled with the fact that most courses are still online, it's hard to visualize the future I'm working so hard towards. from my room. I'm not expecting advice; I'd like books that deal with the degradation of the educational system across all levels. Feel free to discuss your experiences too.
