📚 I really must go back to the book fair. Maybe even get a book for me. A printed one, like in the old days.

@maique I second that. Reading in print is so nice! The only missing thing is having embedded dictionaries! 😂

@pcora Hahahahah. Yes.

@maique I envy that though. I am more and more a digital book reader for a variety of reasons. I miss analog books.

@mbkriegh I can’t even tell you what book I got last, in print. It’s been years!

@maique @mbkriegh @pcora I’ve almost completely given up reading ebooks, unless it’s one that’s already in my library or can’t get hold of a print copy. I have sometimes bought a print edition of a book I’ve read before as an ebook, and wanted to reread.

@pcora @maique synchronizing notes and highlights is hard ;-)

@otaviocc Hahahahah. True! @pcora

@artkavanagh I read almost entirely English books. Most are hard/impossible to find here, and having them shipped from abroad just makes them too expensive. It’s easier/cheaper/more practical to go for the ebook version.

@maique I had a similar problem when I lived in France. That was up to 2011, so I had barely started to read ebooks towards the end. I usually ordered English language books from Amazon.co.uk, and I’d also buy a few when I was back in London every 6 months or so. These days I don’t buy anything from Amazon: I actually deleted my account a few years ago. (I lost access to a handful of Kindle books, but I’ve survived without them.)

@maique i might have bought 1 or 2 ebooks in my life. I love printed editions. I buy them in a friend's book store, in Lisbon. And I also love annotation in my books.

@paulopinto I had a huge collection, got stollen when I was moving houses, and just started getting ebooks. I like print, but this is sooooo convenient. They’re always with me, everywhere.

@maique i can understand that :-)
