Paper vs. Kindle vs. Nook?

i baited the bait to get a bait response to that bait, which I got :^ )

It seems you have been rused, my friend, for I was awaiting that response.

>being this desperate for money in a post-scarcity economy
>wasting time with a STEM degree when you could be studying the principles and mastering the practice of aesthetics
>not having an office and a stipend provided to you by an academic institution with the express purpose of giving you a place to read and write in peace
>not living in an art house with a close circle of fellow aesthetes

wew lad. you must be an ugly manlet, it's the only valid excuse for holding such a moribund, impotent world view.

I know you did, I'm glad I could improve your day.

I'm 6'2, I'm also not presently studying a stem degree. I live with my parents. I'm unemployed.

Thank you, friend!
>thinks he's into aesthetics
>doesn't understand the aesthetics of ugliness

>literal retards. reading paper books has been shown to improve comprehension and retention
If you mean the study which compared paper books to e-books, you are partially right. It was only tested on users who used tablets and smartphones, the test had a very minor (about 1% I believe) e-ink users. IIRC the reason e-books scored less in retention and comprehension was because tablet & smarphone users were easily distracted by music, social media, etc. something that is not possible to have (nor they should be aim to have) on an e-ink tablet. This is not to say paper "sucks", however.

sure, stoner was a 'great work', go to bed

I have the orginall kindle and I love it. It's super durable and battery lasts forever. Plus you can pirate books easily and if you want to buy any they're pretty cheap.


The only downside is pictures tend to get fucked up but I presume that isn't a problem on the newer versions .

It isn't a problem on newer ones.

I prefer paper. Perhaps because I've grown up with it. But I do like the look of books on a shelf. There's also one thing you'll NEVER get with digital readers:

The new book smell.
