If you're reading to be a reader don't buy kindle.

If you're reading to read books buy it.

no

Think about the great greeks, like Plato, or Herodotus, and their world. The world, where every book is a physical, yet not a copy, a hand-written item, usually on either super expensive and rare papyrus, or something way shittier, like a clay sheet, or stone. Imagine these great men spending their whole lives fervently hunting down every written account they could get their hands on, no matter the cost, every poem, play, or just some bureaucratic scripture, just to improve their wisdom. And then imagine if you could tell these men that in the future thousands of books could be packed into one neat, interactive, light tablet, and that some entitled shits think it's 'weird' this way

Kinda agree with this.

It's a layered statement.

If you're reading to be identifiable as a "reader", then buying a Kindle goes against that, since you don't have physical books to either showcase or share.

If you're reading to read books, then buying a Kindle helps. It's basically a pithier version of >>8711233.

Kindles are great, they have a light and you can adjust the size of the text, much more convenient than paper books


Most of /lit/ just pretends to read to look intelligent so need to buy physical copies
