i cant afford an ereader right now

If you don't value what you're reading enough that you should own a physical copy, imo anything you read to understand a point of view or understand cultural context rather than to enjoy the writing itself falls into this

>> No.16059760

don't listen to this nigger >>16059751, OP.

reading on a laptop is fine. good luck saving for whatever medium you choose to read on.

reading on a laptop is better than not reading at all
so if its your only option now then DO IT!

I read on my phone. Was a turbo physical book fag until my second library was stolen due to being a homeless faggot. It was uncomfy at first and now I don't get the deal with it being any different. Plus I enjoy features like word lookup.

Just read a book, how hard can it be? Stop being a consoomer and put entertainment in tech companies hands.

Go to a library or buy them used like I do.
Cute pic OP btw.

if your eyeballs can handle it, go for it. Try to find some software that makes page turning not annoying, try flux or something similar to relieve eyestrain.

Oh, and try your local library before committing to reading on a monitor

Used paperwhite 2. Honestly you can get one for 20-50$, they all do the same. Even older models, except they don't have a light.

Yes, and if you get eye strain try using a blue light filter like f.lux, though those might just be memes. Just look away from the screen for a few minutes every so often to relax your eyes.

I read the entirety of Infinite Jest on my phone in one month. By the end my vision got blurry and I couldn't focus my eyes for a week. I almost got a bogus prescription for glasses, but it went away, and now I can read on phone all day with no problems.

Yes. Actually the only use of edge browser for me is to read pdf. I also like that i can just google some parts easier.

I also read book from physical copy and kindle. They all have their own benefits desu.
