I enjoy reading on my cruddy little ereader.
Havent touched a real book in years. Feels weird to these days.

Once you use one and don't have to hold a book open anymore it just seems like a hassle to handle a paper book.

I've had feelings like this for a while ever since I started exclusively reading pirated manga on a laptop but now that I have an e-reader and a faplet I don't know how I ever lived like that.

Oh fuck regular screens. They are eye cancer. I don't understand how people can enjoy that for a long time. They go "I've got a tablet, I don't need an e-reader." but that just sounds to me like some faggot playing Resident Evil 2 on the Game.com and telling me how they don't need more than 5 fps and graphics that don't make your head hurt ten minutes in.

The faplet was a gift, I didn't buy it myself. And my e-reader was a cheapo one that's screen is too small for mango. I could upgrade if I wasn't a shitty poor but the prices for the bigger (eight inch or more) e-readers are infuriatingly high and the E-Paper patent holders can fuck off. Maybe if they had color, but I'm not paying that for black and white.

I only buy an ereader if there's one which prints text this way and with this sound effect:

Never cared for e-readers, personally. I like to hold a book in my hands. Yeah, it's fucked me for space. But on the plus side, I don't have to worry about some shitter at Amazon suddenly deciding to pull my entire library and the additional expense means I'm not tempted to buy thousands of e-books that I'll probably never get around to reading.

This. E-book services can commit fuckery at any time, not to mention files can get erased and accounts can get lost. Meanwhile, we've still got physical copies of books that were around hundreds of years ago. Hell, thousands of years ago if you count stuff like the Dead Sea Scrolls. E-books may be more convenient, but real books have the longevity for when you actually want to own a particular book forever.

You guys know that you can just yohoho e-pub books and easily load them onto the reader, right?
