Hello. I understand some books are more expensive than others and that is fine but I have a question about pic related. Did they never reprint Plato's Complete Works? I can't find any copies locally and I only see it on Amazon germany for which shipping is kinda expensive.

I'm aware of this option, perhaps if i'm desperate i'll do this but i'm not very into screen and sadly I don't own an e-reader.

Any recommendations on getting a proper one? The way it works for me is Plato's book would cost me 90 euros with shipping. Might as well get an e-reader

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 8 20:44:49 2020 No.16537848 >>16537839 Yea I only just now started looking. It seems quite rare, i've only tried online warehouses with storefronts so far and i've yet to find one but Amazon that has it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 8 20:45:13 2020 No.16537852 >>16537839 90 euros? it costs 57 euros where I live.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 8 20:46:43 2020 No.16537869 >>16537852 Correction everyone. It's 62 euros on Amazon, I seemed to have clicked on a third party seller. Is this acceptable/normal for this particular book?

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 8 20:47:35 2020 No.16537872 >>16537865 Mexico. I meant the converted currency.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 8 20:48:50 2020 No.16537881 >>16537848 You can try Book Depository, I think they do worldwide shipping (which is included in the book's cost): https://www.bookdepository.com/Plato--Complete-Works/9780872203495

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 8 20:50:50 2020 No.16537890 >>16537869 >>16537872 Just buy the eReader. They have some digital ink technology and desu it was only weird for me on phone for first couple times. Just take methylphenidate and focus on the work. I could probably read off a rock if it had more books.

Look at the link the anon above sent, 46 euros. That's a steal.

>>16537890
Ritalin aint a bad deal but I can focus without, no worries. What is 'the e-reader', i'm a total newfag when it comes to the IT side of books, what brand/model?
