Only kids and wymen use kindles and they use it to read YA.

I only use it at home before sleeping because I have already hit my nose with a 600 pg book.

Alberto Manguel's library makes me so envious. I'm currently reading The Library At Night and feeling maximal jealously.

It's always been one of my favorites. I'm hopefully closing on a house soon that includes a whole guest house, I'd love to make it into a library like that.

>Enjoy poor retention
>muh cherrypicked "scientific study"
So do you uncritically accept the results of every bullshit study you read about in pseudo-journalistic puff pieces or only those that suit your confirmation bias?

>Expense Pad
>Implying it's not more expensive in the long run to purchase books and keep giving them away
Also inb4 "buy used". Not everything you'd want to buy is easily available used. You can, however, find virtually any book free online. Also you are not factoring in the opportunity cost of your time spent hunting around in used bookstores or trolling ebay. Unless, of course, you are unemployed and place no value on your free time.

Disclaimer: This is coming from someone living in a small apartment who has a big bookshelf full of books and also a kindle. Both are fine, do whatever you want, but for convenience and cost effectiveness there is absolutely no contest. Kindle has the upper hand. Personally, I haven't experienced any problems retaining what I've read on a kindle either.

Well, this isn't as grand as some, but it's actually mine, so I'm happy. Library and den/secondary library.

>>8642937
Nice. What are the pages in the case?

>>8642931
fair point, I'm probably just jealous. apologies for my autism.

>>8642947
Some antique pages: A trial page from Kelmscott's edition of Caxton's Golden Legend, 1892, A page from the Doves Press edition of Paradise Lost, 1902, Two fabulous old Master prints: German engravings, 17th C, & A page from a rubricated incunabulum hymnal, 15th C.

Thanks. It's genuinely comfy and great to hang out in. I'd been waiting many years to buy a house and have dedicated library rooms.

>>8644606
If only you'd bought a good camera too.
