Well, /lit/ how do you read? Do you read physical books, e-readers or PDFs?
(Audiobooks don't count as reading)

Used to read physical books but then I turned 18 and became broke so I switched over to PDFs.

>> No.22296430

Hard copies, and pirated pdfs if I don't have/can't get a copy
E-readers are a jewish scheme

Unless you’re a student or poor I don’t believe you. No one in this site’s age demographic goes to public libraries anymore

I wish I could go to a library bro but I live in a shithole for now. I do like to take a 10km jog to a bookstore every Sunday just to chill out and look at books. I only buy like one or two a month because they are really expensive there.

>> No.22296556

pirated E-books on my Computer and laptop. Books are too expensive to ship them through the internet and there is no library in this nigger infested shithole.
I get my e-books from Libgen, by the way.

Physical copies, paperback or leather (faux or genuine), of books that are easily found.
.pdf for expensive or hard to find books.

>Do you read physical books, e-readers or PDFs?
Yes.

>> No.22296744

70/30 paperbacks to ebooks I'd say. There's no denying the convenience of an e-reader, and it has already paid itself back numerous times at this point. That said, I simply can't last for more than a book or two before I start missing the sensation of holding a physical book in my hands.

Sync between Android devices and book reader, depending on where I am, and audiobooks while in transit or walking the dog (DGAF if the don't count)
I am not a fan of paper book fetishism, so I buy up to 5 paper books a year.

I prefer print. Ereaders are good for other stuff:
>out of print and otherwise rare
>stuff I disagree with but want to have on hand to better reference
>books that I'll probably read once and then never again

Libraries have never really worked out for me.

>> No.22297194

Both. It depends which format I come across the book in.

The books were taking up too much space, but I couldn't get into reading on a screen until I got an e-ink device. The stuff is black magic.

Why the fuck is paperback keeping his arms down? He’s getting jabbed and he’s thinking he can pull some Prince Naseem bullshit? Unlikely. He’s built like a boat, his footwork is shit. He couldn’t slip Teflon. This guy is a clown and he’s arrogant and he deserves the knockout coming his way. What a bum.
