I gotta stop collecting phys books.
Discussion
Same just bought a book, instead of reading streaming the audiobook. Waste
ebook or audio book?
Same. Gotta reserve shelf weight for the exceptional selections. Looking forward to the nostr:nprofile1qqswhhhf99z77pfg80s2c00z27rusxn2tzss7450n34krkwa2yadhtgpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhkzafwwfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwqlc3kq tablet to upload the array I’ve accumulated from Annas-archive.
You may want to reconsider if you value privacy. I was excited about this until I found this thread pointing out data collection on basically everything you do.
I would never use Daylight Co.
Screen is neat but these are not software people. I want to run #GrapheneOS on a new Pixel tablet, if that ever comes to fruition (doubtful).
Ideally I would run graphene on one. Love the screen
The screen _IS_ incredible, I'll give them that. Kind of a life-changer for sure.
Makes the areas where they're fucking up (or just too early) hurt even more.
They have mentioned wanting to support GrapheneOS in the future, but I don't think it'll happen. For two reasons: 1. the one you said (not software people). 2. Graphene's strict standards make it hard to be compatible with other devices.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been aware of the privacy concerns and am hoping to take their world at seeing improvements in the future. I’ve got a pixel running GrapheneOS, but also have a hard time taking a Google phone at face value as well. Mainly looking to decrease eye strain from reading docs. Definitely looking forward to privacy hardware improvements moving forward.
I prefer physical books, but should get rid of some before I get more
Going to downsize all phys books to a single shelf, then transfer every other book to Kindle + Audible until better, more open alternatives exist.
New books will go directly to digital, then only the best of the best will go to the physical shelf.
Ain’t going to read most of the ones on kindle. I like to look at my library to see a part of my identity at the particular point in time. Being surrounded by books makes one different
I agree. I picture my child curiously browsing the books in our home and picking one up that looks interesting. It’s just not the same with digital books.
Spot on. My parent working for 25 years in a large state owned bookstore in 80/90s built relatively large collection of rare books at that time. For me then it was normal to grow up around books & built my own pretty rare collection of books. After traveling for half of my life I finally re started collecting couple of years back & still go back family home browsing what remained on the family shelves.
Digital era. Digital money. Digital books.
Install https://github.com/Acclorite/book-story and torrent all your ebooks.
I will switch to digital books when the full experience of physical books is replicated in VR
Imagine society inventing whole artificial reality with brain interface in a pod or haptics and smell generator, only to save a kilogram or paper per year.
Something is telling me, that physical books aren't going to disapear as long as civilization exists.😆
Yea. Too many physics books just gets confusing. Lots of duplicates of newton's laws.
Some are worth having
so much healthier than staring at screens imo...
E-readers are pretty good these days. Obviously purchase your favorite or most vital books in physical form.
Can't wait for the 2030s when a #Bitcoin powered, decentralized ebook marketplace running on open source hardware is the norm.
yeah i should get one - have always had a hard time justifying it with a tablet but its prolly a good idea im burnt on tradscreens.
thanks for the reminder
A strategic eBook library (preferably of digital books that are *owned* not rented and can be backed up to a non-internet-enabled device) is good.
The trade offs with most eBook and E-reader options is yet more screen time, eye strain, the ease for bad actors to erase or stealth edit books, and the data collection. Despite the cost and space issues, I still prefer physical books.
Just have to read them lol. Start producing content based on multiple texts. Answer a question.
