I brought like 8 when I went to Hawaii when I was a kid. I finished half of them before I even got off the plane. Now I would just use an e-reader though. It’s great not having all those books taking up so much space. I’m glad I don’t have that issue with getting absorbed in it.
Yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy that ebooks are accessible and get people to actually read, but they just aren’t for me. I’ve had ereaders, I’ve tried my phone, I’ve tried tablets. I will and have read an ebook if that’s the only way I can get a story, but I almost always opt for physical books. I just cannot get focused on reading when it’s a screen in front of me, especially when that paper feels so good on my eyes and in my hands. It’s like an entire tactile experience lol
Yeah to each their own. I do have a lot harder time with anything that has charts or diagrams when they’re digital. Not sure why but paper just works better. At least historically. Digital is catching up now that I’m getting old and my eyes are going to shit.
lol at one book
I bring 2! One for the plane and extra time, a second usually short story anthology for if I finish the first.
And no, e-readers are a no go for me. I just can’t get into an ebook the way I get absorbed into a physical book.
