That feel, man.

I've -3000€ on my bank and it's all books.
It's not as bad as it sounds, as I have a job and this debt is quickly removed, but I do intend to save. Instead I binge buy books and while I read a lot I'd lie if I told you I read half of the books I own.

Should I get a Kindle Paperwhite or a Kindle Voyage?

I'm getting one of them.

>> No.6624524

>>6622664
How do you even do that?
You can usually get like 20 books for 3 bucks if you dig and lurk around for bargains and e-book bind ups. I've never paid more than 3 bucks for the collected works of most writers (including Proust).

>> No.6624552

>>6624495
Voyage only if you can find it for the same price as a paperwhite. Voyage isn't much of an upgrade and paperwhite is incredible to begin with.

Those of you with e-readers:
What do you have?
Do you recommend it?
Do you buy or pirate books?
Have you found yourself reading more books since you got it, or does the large library at your fingertips cause you to jump around and get distracted?

I've never been a fan of physical books because they strain my eyes from the small print and I hate the way the pages feel. Having ebooks has made me actually read when I never did in the past

I got a sturdy outdated one they don't make anymore, but the Nook Glow looks cool.
>Do you buy or pirate books?
Only pirate from dead writers who's works aren't yet in Public Domain (morals).
>Have you found yourself reading more books since you got it, or does the large library at your fingertips cause you to jump around and get distracted?
I jump around with physical books too, I just now have a much bigger library.

Rooted Nook, $30 new on eBay

Yep

Only idiots pay for digital public-access media

My total reading consumption has probably dropped, but I've diversified my interests thanks to the ease of acquisition

>> No.6624752

just went on an epub binge as well. except all free. downloaded a bunch of french literature to practice reading and kobo has a built in dictionary which is useful.
i'll probably end up getting fed up cause they're beyond my reading level.
