I will usually go for an e-reader for a few reasons, sometimes I can't find a book I want to read but I can usually find a virtual copy, as well as, if you read lots it will most likely end up being the cheaper option. Though I will also read real books.

Is this real or just shilling?
Maybe some E readers are shit (and ebook on smartphone/tablet)

What's a good E-reader anyway?

>> No.23005

>>22017
An e-reader is more practical so that's what I use for textbooks and the like (it also makes it easier to steal them,) but if I'm just reading for fun I prefer a physical, hardcover book.

I've never even used an e-reader desu.

>> No.23080

Opposite for me. Ereaders are convenient for getting what you want fast, but for referential texts I much prefer large pages and good clear images & diagrams etc. You can take in more information at once with a classical textbook, with less flicking of pages

Personally I like Kindle, the one in the pic is a Paperwhite, it lasts pretty much a month reading every day and as long as you don't have it on the highest brightness, it's not too big so easy for taking around with you. I've used it for years and don't have anything to complain about.

Tablets are better for textbooks and PDFs and anything with pictures as long as it's a big fucking tablet. E-readers are better for everything else.

Depends. Have a tablet for longer trips where I really need the space. I tend to just go to the library and read there or take out books. I just really like turning the pages and the smell of really old books.

Real books.

I've tied kindle and I just can't get used to it. I'm a semi brainlet, so if I have to go back to a certain page or chapter it's just fluid with a book. For some reason comprehension is better for me with a book.

Obviously, I wish I could get used to a kindle, so I could carry multiple books around with me, but it's just frustrating at times.

Lenovo A-10, I think. It's worth noting just how big this thing is.
