Some kindles (the only ereaders I’m familiar with as I’ve had 4 or 5 different models) have buttons, some touch screens, some both. Just make sure you pick one that is button only or that you can turn off the touch screen turn page functionality
I tried an ebook back in 2014, somewhere around there, while it was convenient since I was working AND going to evening classes, I did not like it all that much compared to having an actual book in my hand.
It was also a game changer as I no longer had to agonize over what books to bring on longer trips (2 weeks or more.) I can just read whatever I’m in the mood for at any given time!I tried an ebook back in 2014, somewhere around there, while it was convenient since I was working AND going to evening classes, I did not like it all that much compared to having an actual book in my hand.
Maybe I'll have to try it again that I'm older and wiser!

I bought the one with buttons after having the one without for years…. I much prefer the buttons.

The arm tiring and dropping the books on my face in bed were real pain points!
I got an old version of the paperwhite for Christmas. I didn’t think I’d like it that much more than a physical book or reading from my phone, but I’ve actually been reading more frequently since getting it. I don’t know if the newer versions of the paperwhite have buttons for page turning, but I love the look and feel of the screen on the paperwhite because it’s so different from a phone or iPad.
Oh, absolutely....
Have you ever had a phone or Kindle hit you in tge face though? I have. It hurts too. Lol
That happens when I try to use the Kindle app in my Android with the big edge-to-edge screen…I hate it so much!
That sounds amazing, but I’ve moved a lot, will probably move again, and don’t see myself being able to buy my own house anytime soonThe arm tiring and dropping the books on my face in bed were real pain points!
On the bookcase side, it’s harder for me to relate because I LOVE adding bookcases to my house. One of my first projects after buying my house was building a 12 foot one in the staircase. I’m going to install a rolling library ladder for it this spring
I have, and with my small-but-densely-packed iPhone, it hurts more than a 900-page hardcover
Moving books is the worst!
Oh and I used to work in medical records back when patients charts were paper, and although I love books, I’m also happy enough to avoid the chance of getting another paper cutI tried an ebook back in 2014, somewhere around there, while it was convenient since I was working AND going to evening classes, I did not like it all that much compared to having an actual book in my hand.

Those fuckers are HEAVY, but I would argue moving kitchen stuff is the worst, because of how much extra padding, wrapping, taping etc they need to ensure the whole set arrives at the new place unbroken
I had my glasses on.
Yeah, me too. Sucks. Rude awakening.
Yes. Got anything for that?
Put your dad on and let us all say "hi".I’ve had a fever and chills all day. My dad brought a pie (apple with a wonderfully flaky crust) over for Pi day and made me soup
