Recent purchases - Part II

[basil rathbone]

I´ve never read on a kindle or Ipad. I think, because I´m so much online reading articles and forums, I wouldn´t stand looking at a screen and reading. There´s nothing like flipping pages and holding the book while going through a story.

How do you know? I do miss page numbers, but the percentage bar is similar.

It was just an expression. Don´t need to take it literally.

Trying to flip back and forth in IJ on an e-reader would be the biggest pain **********. There are over 100 pages of "footnotes."

You just click on the footnote and get brought straight to it, it's one click to go back to exactly where you left off. Random access of known locations is something e-readers handily beat physical books for.

holy **** why?

People are debating the merits of physical vs. digital books; what books they're reading currently; the values of cyberpunk; etc; in the Recent Purchases thread, Hardly the place, no?

Thread drift, so what, and many people seem to be enjoying the conversation so why be a dick?

Well at least you are reading something, unlike most other 10 year olds these days.

Off topic banter is obviously going to occur in thread but three pages worth of book banter gets old. "Thread drift" is easily the worst part of styleforum.
