people act as if books are the be-all end-all of information, but like.. they're just the best people managed with resources and technology of the time! If you asked an ancient scholar if they prefer a book, or a tablet with MANY books in it, gee i sure do wonder which one they'd choose..
"Hey Socrates, do you want this clay tablet, or an electronic tablet with every book that ever existed on it?"
Bonus points if you call him So-crates.
Yeah I just listen to audiobooks while playing video games, doing chores, or cycling. It’s what it takes for me so it’s worth it
For sure! I mean there are definitely advantages to physical books, like anything that you want to flip through quickly like a textbook is awful on an ereader… but just having hundreds of books on the go is a huge win.
and even that is something we could fix if we decided to, e-ink technology is starting to improve again and we'll probably have decent refresh speeds in a few years and then you'll be able to flip through them like a book!
God I hope so T_T. I have like an ancient kindle at this point and I’ve been waiting for something that’s actually worth upgrading to.
