/lit/ - Literature

How dumb do you have to be to make threads like this

Just answer the damn question, nigger.

YES.
There's YOUR answer now FUCK OFF back to, you guessed it, R*ddit!

No. e-ink readers, open source file sharing, writing, translational and configurative software merge to create an incredibly potent and almost self-contained form of learning. If you locked a man in a cell with just loaded kindle and a power source for a year he'd emerge a sage. Traditional books are outmoded in most criteria but aesthetic (extremely important)

>>12564538
seriously. some of the fucking people on this board lack a basic level of critical thinking

>>12564538
Basically, you need to have very little ability to talk about /lit/wise but a strong desire to post ANYTHING on /lit/. Prognosis: an /r9k/ crossboarder who thinks /lit/ is the "smart board" and by posting on it he is accomplished is some way.

They have their advantages, and shortcomings.

I use one sometimes, but still prefer a psysical book over it.

so basically, /lit/ is turning into reddit. :(

>he "reads books" on his phone

I'm a poor college student who lives in a dorm. I love physical books but I don't think I'd be able to continue buying them. I'm considering just buying a used kindle and pirating everything :(
Oh well

People are insufferable as a whole.
Ereaders are a good investment if you’re borderline poor and need to pirate your books. I agree that there is no parallel to reading a physical book. However, if you can’t and don’t want to visit a library because it’s bothersome or out of your way, an ereader works wonders. I don’t have the space or the money to buy physical books, so I download books onto either my phone or kindle, and read them when time permits. I get exactly the same information because it is not medium dependant.

Man imagine to have the money to buy every single book you want to read.

Real talk, I try to read multiple books a week and if I were to buy every single one that'd just be fucking bad. I only buy books I finshed and genuinely want a copy of.
OP is probably a faggot that reads one book every few months and takes it on the subway every day to read it in public (like 1 page or some shit because he spends most time trying to nonchalantly see if people are admiring him reading)
Wouldn't be surprised if said book is Infinite Jest as well.
