The book of disquiet is the best. But if you are just starting try fathers and sons to develop a true love of literature. I also forgot to mention the makioka sisters and no longer human.
i am reading anna karenina now, and I'm enjoying it. coincidentally i started reading it on a kobo on vacation, but now that I'm home i'm continuing it on a real book. the epub was the constance translation and the real book is the volokhonsky? translation.

I don’t know much about translations but if you are reading classic literature then you’re spending your life as you should be, appreciating the truest form of communication, which is intellectualism in the form of art.

rare to see a Hardy enjoyer on here
Though it was the book written at the height of his skill as a novelist, I still believe that Tess was his masterpiece.
Ive read only the first chapter of that, didnt really give it a chance. I did read far from the madding crowd and though I did really like it, it wasn’t an all-time favorite for me like JTO was. I think thats why I set aside TOTD. 4AAXG
>fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fricked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to frick a farting woman when every frick drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere.
Jesus, James Joyce is wild. Can't wait to read his letters.
I used to be a voracious reader but haven’t finished a book in years so something small to get the ball rolling again. Early McCarthy or something by Houellbecq probably. Maybe something by Philip K Dick as I’ve never actually finished a book by him.
yeah i forgot how small it is. having a percentage icon at the bottom of the screen really reminds you of the size

i’ll have to keep an eye out i have the newest too
Turn off wifi or fill the storage to 99% (not sure if it still works) to prevent further updates. When JB comes out in 102 weeks, it might not be for the latest FW version, so stop updating if you care about JB.
There have been working methods for years, up until ~fall 2022. Since then all new devices have jb-proof firmwares. I bought my Paperwhite because I knew it could be jailbaited.

What do you get out of jailbreaking it? Genuine question. I have one of the PaperWhite versions, but I can just send whatever books I want into it using Calibre, so I always just used the default software.
I get superhuman ability to avoid using Calibre.
Basically this
Yes, for tech illiterate morons.
Less challenged people install Koreader to comfortably read all file formats, pdfs included. You'll need at least a 7" like Paperwhite or Libra 2.
JB allows me to install something that can be rightfully called "software", unlike the default kindlecuck app that can't even override epub css. My reader must be able to display the text the way I want it to look, and open more than 2 file formats. That's achievable with JB.
it’s amazon. you can buy one and pay like only $40 up front and the ability to return no questions asked. just try it for a month and if you don’t like it all you lost was $40 for a couple weeks.
E-readers are totally different than reading on your phone or computer. I used to also think that. But I was spending too much money on books, got a kobo to try and stop that and it's so much better than a normal screen. Honestly I prefer it to physical now, it's just so much more convenient and you can customize it to become the perfect reading experience
Its a cope I think I thought so too at first but I seem to be able to retain all the info regardless. Although there are some books I would much rather just "experience" reading them phyiscally (Mostly classics) Just feels wrong reading them on a screen.
this comparison makes the differences seem somewhat irrelevant.
I like kindle because the contrast isn't crazy. it looks like paper, not e-ink. they both seem fine.
Kindle > amazon > tedious to sideload books onto it > cheap and readily available
Kobo > less cucked > easy to sideload koreader, books etc. > newest models don't offer SD card support > still somewhat locked
Boox > not cucked, loads of sizes, screens.. > it's android, sideload whatever > no SD card support > cost as much as an ipad
pocketbook > not cucked > kind of meh in all regards
rest > too expensive, too cucked, too old..
there really is no single ereader that one should get. They are all cucked in some way or another. The good ones cost as much as an ipad, which is just better in general apart from the main gimmick - le paper screen. The consoomerist ones don't offer enthusiast level freedom. The ones in the middle are just not convincing enough to spend 150-200$ on.
Not that anon, but most of them are.
Kindles are waterproof, Paperwhite is sort of rubber sealed around the screen. Kobos aren't sealed, but have water resistant coating on the electronics.
Also, kindles have the best batteries (reading time). Kobos are worse, Sage is especially pathetic.
the paper screen ‘gimmick’ is the entire fricking point of buying one. you have two choices for reading in the sun. an ebook or an actual book. tablets have atrocious glare and visibility. ereaders are like looking at paper.
I guess some of their models have it then. I mainly had the air models in mind which don't have sd card support; otherwise they would have been near perfect.
How is the leaf? It looks great but I haven't seen too many people with it.

Their newer designs like the Leaf 2/Page and Tab Ultra /Tab Ultra C have them but the rehashed shells like Tab X, Tab Mini C/Nova Air or Note Air don't.
If you have indoor lights that can change brightness then blame your dry eyes for it. Or your indoor lights flicker then this also can be the cause. Try reading with disabled frontlight and with sun light and off indoor lights.
the whole appeal of an ereader is it isn't an lcd display. you're not reading a digital layout, it mimics actual paper. honestly the ui and software are always trash, but it's made up by the fact that you don't feel like you're staring at yet another screen.
Yeah, cause I was gifted a model of kindle several years back, and I felt like I has a portable IBM computer. Was not comfy when it was so janky. But, with my tablets blue light filter and my reader apps different fonts/backgrounds I get that feel you are talking about.
in the end it's all a matter of preference. for some reason ereaders get certain people reading a lot more than books or tablets do. the convenience factor is probably the biggest thing. whatever you can have with you in boring little in-between life moments to get you reading is best.

Yeah the convenience and customization is game changing to me. I can read in some many different more cozy positions than I could with a book, or being able to read at night with the lights off with no difficulty
Eh, e-ink is pretty soothing and easy on the eyes. You can use all your Blue-light filters and dark/sepia modes but nothing compares to it. The caveat is you can only use epub/mobi/azw3 formats. PDFs are practically unreadable on e-readers.

you are moronic, but then it seems you are a female (or some gay pretending to be one) so it all checks out.
>there's joyce fans who read the stuff this guy made
Are Kindles good bros? I feel like more stuff "goes in" when I read physical but..
it’s amazon. you can buy one and pay like only $40 up front and the ability to return no questions asked. just try it for a month and if you don’t like it all you lost was $40 for a couple weeks.
just buy a fricking kobo holy shit you dumb Black folk are intolerable
kobo rhymes with homo. therefore i will not buy it. sorry.
there's no rule saying you can't have things that rhyme with you
kobo doesn't have cool sexy leather cases for them though, do they?
they’re very comfy. more than i expected.
what one is that specifically?
Newest one. I just spent two hours reading at the park. The screen looks excellent in harsh direct sunlight, very much like actual paper.

To everyone in this thread. get kobo.
Okay, hobo.

No, I already have too many ebooks on Amazon and the battery on my kindle lasts 4x as long as a kobo
I already have a kindle oasis for free. I barely use it because I still like physical books.

thanks for the breakdown thats really helpful. now to throw in a twist, are any of them water resistant/waterproof?

those are some atrocious model names
real question how do you stop getting dry eyes when staring at e-readers?
Why would you get dry eyes in the first place? If you turn the brightness all the way down it's just like staring at a piece of paper.
If you have indoor lights that can change brightness then blame your dry eyes for it. Or your indoor lights flicker then this also can be the cause. Try reading with disabled frontlight and with sun light and off indoor lights.
i love these frickers so much . Greatest tool for language learning.
What if I just buy a tablet and get a reading app on it instead of a e book reader?

Is there any incentive to buying one, instead of just using my tablet?
