$300 won't buy you even one section of this bookstand.

buy hardback copies of worthwhile books and then use your e-reader for books that aren't worth the space on your shelf (fantasy shit, YA novels etc)

>willing to waste time with shit literature
>not willing to waste shelf space with it.
Seems like you got your priorities mixed up

>>19448852
>waste of time
hardly a waste of time if you enjoy it kek. far better than cooming or playing vidya

Do you like reading more, or the aesthetics of reading?

>>19448815
actually reading is more redpilled

>>19448880
makes for an alright library also

>>19448815
Real books tend to impress people more...but only if you have hardcover books, "the classics", or multi-volume sets, and nothing controversial. My bookshelf is basically a mish-mash of crap that impresses no one.

cooming, vidya, and fantashit are just different forms of brainrot consooming
you are low IQ if you cant "enjoy" actual lit

I used to use an an e-reader for everything but religious texts and manuals or dictionaries. Now I get paperbacks instead of buying digital, and I think I will sell or donate when I move to a smaller place.

You can enjoy classic lit while occasionally indulging in the guilty pleasure of reading something low-brow

>DURRR TIEM ENJOYED IS A NOT TIEM WASTED DURRR
Am I not wasting my time right now? Fuck you.

>>19449461
you sound like a pseud. not everyone has to read actual lit all day.

>>19449532
i wasn't being too serious but if youre a nihilist and atheist, everything is ultimately a "waste of time"

>>19449461
lol at thinking reading books isn't just consumption as well

>>19448815
i regret most physical books i bought

>>19449674
It depends on the book? Genre fiction isn't the same as history.

>>19449731
Post books.

>>19448815
It depends on whether you like to read or like people to know you read.

>>19448880
got a high quality version?

>>19448815
I kinda do it random

I did the whole The Expanse in audible
and the whole The First Law series on it too

idk why even get kindle versions, they're inferior to normal books and audiobooks
What I can get for less than $10~ I buy physically but I did buy the first Age of Madness in physical for like $20 hardcover

my local bookstore has books for a whopping $3 and I got dune for $9

>>19448815
Buy a used e-reader for $50 and spend the rest on hardbacks of your favorites. You don’t have to be strictly either/or.

Where to buy? I’d do this right now desu

What's the best ereader to get right now? The new paperwhite? Or something used? Looking at at voyage, which apparently is pretty good, or a used oasis

I actually prefer physical books. Most of the books I want are not available in my country so I need to buy them from Amazon. A kindle is convenient but physical feels better.

>>19450351
Literally you.

Physical books are always a waste.

try moving apartments with a load of books.
shit is heavy. give me a cheap Android tablet (e.g. Samsung Tab A 10.1) and Libgen for free epubs and I'm a happy reader

I don’t like reflective screens. E-Ink all day.
