I used to have one, reading on paper just feels better imo, I might eventually buy one again because there's stuff thats's pretty much impossible to find printed here.

Printed for Portuguese/Spanish books I can buy locally/across the border.
Kindle for ebooks in English which can be hard to find around here or too expensive to order physical from amazon because of import taxes (I do have some printed books in English which I can find in bookstores here, typically famous titles like Moby Peepee, Lolita, Paradise Lost, LOTR).

Curious, why would you pick up the English translation of Lolita over the Portuguese? I get why you'd want the other 3 in English

Lolita was written in English and I prefer to read novels in the original language as long as I understand the language. I have no qualms about reading translations of non-fiction books though, like this one I bought recently.

Huh, I didn't know that it was released in English first, never mind then

Nabokov's most famous works, Lolita and Pale Fire are both set in the US and they were both written in English. I was kind of shocked by the high quality of his prose considering he was Russian but apparently he spoke English along with Russian at home as speaking English was considered fancy stuff by the Russian nobility, if you watch his interviews he sounded more like a posh upper class Bong than a Russian immigrant.

Onyx Boox, don't remember the model, it's quite old by now. Still runs fine though, so no need to change.
I usually like normal books though, so I most often use it while travelling or when looking for old shit that is no longer available in print.

Having to pack all my books has made me realize that they do be taking up space. I will never surrender to the woke e-reader mob.

I like having a tangible book I can hold in my hand and underline key passages in. I also like having a physical collection of books I enjoy which I keep in my office. It makes me think of this website as more of a home and community, rather than yet another platform that's a front for a business.

Conversation is the art of giving the appearance of better than average intelligence whilst listening.

I've had a kindle for a decade. I recently got a kindle scribe for reading
full size articles as pdfs (absolutely perfect 
for texts with lots of symbols/figures).
