I want to buy an e-reader to get back into reading. Needs to be:

- I want the 75-150 dollar range.
- Not a tablet. Only reading. I'm too easily distracted. Less features are more sometimes.
- No video or internet or music.
- Insanely long battery life (key feature). I want 100 hours or days.
- Easy to put pirated books on there

I'm leaning towards:

You do realise that's actually a bullshit stylistic distinction and not actually proper grammatical rule, right?

few - a small number of

less - a smaller amount of

'amount' only means quantity (or number) so you can how it's actually the same. ;-)

What a great world

The ads are only in the lock screen and the bottom of the screen with the lists of books. Never in the books.

I would suggest getting a Kobo. I am grateful for a friend giving me an extra one that she had, and thanks to her, I was able read anything I felt like just about anywhere. And the best part is that you can just copy and paste "pirated" books, pdf files, etc, right into a folder. It doesn't have a touch-screen, but that really didn't bother me at all, and I found that all of the books I kept on there were really easily accessible. I'd suggest going with a Kobo.

I have that specific Kindle (I believe that it was 79 dollars). There isn't any ads while you're actually reading, though. You can press the power button once to put the Kindle into sleep mode. What would normally come up as a nice picture of a fountain pen or what-have-you now comes up as an advertisement. If you don't want to walk around with an add on the front of your kindle, simply hold the power button for 5 more seconds.

Honestly, it's hardly even noticeable, and some of the offers are actually pretty good.

Nook Simple Touch, seriously. Everything else feels like junk comparably. Also it supports epub format.

You absolute fucking cunt.

Less is for uncountable nouns, fewer is for countable nouns.

You are the worst piece of filth on earth, and I hope that when you die, Satan reserves a special piece of hell for you.

It's not "stylistic", it's fucking grammar, you absolute colon.
