Before I got this thing I was thinking about it too but you can simply pull lightly to get the site out you have read. then you press it towards the book to tuck it in. It's a bit fumbly desu honest and it can happen that you rip a bit of it. You have to be careful. It's still very much worth it.

You must barely read at all if you don't have a book wheel.

Why is it always the Germans? What the fuck is going on in that country?
At least Americans have the excuse of being ignorant. Germans should know better.

You're right. You lose almost everything in a translation. Good translations are as rare as the great texts themselves translated. But we don't live as idle noble athenians or english country-gentlemen, we can't all be polyglots or Homer-readers in his language.

Aside of anime I shit you not german dubs are better then the original material. When it comes to books I don't see why translations should be worse.

Wait that's not entirely true. Let me clarify. English movies and TV shows are much better when they are dubbed in German. German dubs of English material is actually amazing.
