Should I really get an e-reader?

Why not insert your penis into your anus and fill it up with urine like a water balloon

i recommend going blind and switching to braille. if you're having trouble going bind i've found it pretty easy to use an icepick

Hey Anon, I have experience reading on both a Lenovo yoga tablet/laptop and a Kindle. If you're reading PDFs, your tablet will be much better suited to reading them. Reading PDFs on a Kindle is a pain in the ass. On the other hand, the e-ink screen of a Kindle does feel more similar to reading a book printed on paper. Supposedly, converting from epub can cause some formatting issues, but I usually have luck finding what I want in the .mobi format already. From personal experience, I never felt eye strain reading on my yoga, and I'd spend long stretches of time reading dense literary theory on it, but at the same time, I'd never want to read a novel for fun on it. Reading novels on a Kindle is much more relaxing, but in theory it might be easier for you to zone out and remember less details than if it were a real book because the pages don't occupy physical space.

It is better. Reading an Ipad for 4 hours would make me fall on my face, and the batteries would run out.

This is not the case with e-ink

we should really have a /ereader/ general with some basic info in the sticky
YES it's way nicer to read on an e-reader then on a tablet, also no blue light so it doesn't mess with your sleep (but maybe that's just a meme)
NO it's not ideal for PDF, but there are programs to cut your PDF's to fit your ereader screen
YES you can convert epub to mobi with calibre
get a paperwhite or a kobo, you won't regret it

Bro I always hated reading on tablet and spent good money on books, I was skeptical of e-readers but I bought a kindle and is bretty good, I don't get tired of reading and I don't spent one money on books. I'm gonna read it all on this bitch.

I am still using my Kindle I bought in 2012. Without it I would have read very little over these years.

The screen is very nice, eink is just like paper. You can find all your books for free online, I haven't spent a dime on books for my kindle and I have hundreds on it. It's also nice being able to read controversial books like "Gas The Kikes Race War Now" in public without dirty looks from Jews.

Get a paperwhite or a Kobo OP, you won't regret it.

I feel like the letters look pixelated. I had really good vision so maybe most people don't notice, but the letters look really grainy. Could it be that I have marked some setting I shouldn't have, or is that normal?

>>9811882
yes. it's worth it. very much worth it.

That's called "ghosting" and all e-ink screens have it. The newer models of kindles and other e-readers have higher resolution screens than my 2012 model which help a lot. There is also a setting to change the refresh rate after 5 or so pages, or do it on every page. If you refresh the page after every page turn you won't run into any ghosting problems, although the ghosting isn't that annoying desu.

>Should I really get an e-reader?
Yes, IMO.

>I want to know whether it's worth or not
By pirating books online you'll save tons of cash, that's for sure. Kindle actually reads like paper, and doesn't hurt your sight like a tablet or PC does over time.

>Is the conversion from epub to mobi smooth
Yes. Pdf to mobi is 50/50, sometimes it works out very nice and sometimes it doesn't. Scanned pdf books, for instance, will be total shit.

I bought my Kindle about a month ago, and I believe it is one of the best stuff I ever bought.
