    I reluctantly started reading ebooks years ago for a very practical reason: owning some few thousand physical books, I pretty much ran out of room in the shelves in my small apartment. So nowadays I only buy physical art books and the like. Having said this, I actually easily grew to like ebooks, for their ubiquitous availability and, of course, not taking up precious shelf space.

    Have to read them in an ereader for a proper experience, though. Tablet/smartphone displays tire my eyes a lot if I read for any meaningful period of time.

      I’ve heard from an optometrist that Amazon paperlites solve the eye strain issue. Specfically asking “Why do you hate your eyes?” when I told him I read via a tablet.

      The only downside is giving Amazon money…

          I have a Kobo, and it’s fucking sweet. You don’t even need EPUB format; Kobos read plain fucking text.
