I don't hate e-books, but too many people are moving to e-books these days, and it kind of makes me sad.
That and, Kindles are too expensive.
edit: bah. Nevermind. I have stuff to do.
^ I don't! 8D
Don't worry.
^ Batteries that charge on the air itself exist
And (if they ever fucking let it out into the open) wireless electricity also exists
Close enough for me
I'll never be able to ebooks until they have the find a way to make one where you can physically turn the pages.
Or one that can last an entire train trip
^^ Enjoy dying before you get to ebook! 8D
The handheld electronics industry trives on replaceability. Take that away, and so do their profits.
I seriously doubt that that is going to be at all a deciding factor.
That's a bit like arguing cassettes/CDs could never go out of style because it's possible for an iPod's battery to run out, and I don't thin I need to say that that didn't quite turn out that way.
All the industry needs to do is make the charges last a decent amount of time.
@Icalasari: I'm sure I will.
Except cassettes and CD players also had a limited lifespan.
My only problems with e-books are that I don't like reading text on a screen as much as in print, personally, as far as being able to read things goes, and I don't want to shell out such a large sum of money for something whose returns can't be calculated at this point.
Goddamn ninjas.
That's about it, yeah.
Print books probably won't go away for quite some time, because there's a fairly significant audience who still prefers them to eBooks.
It was an example, sue me.
We've now gotten to the point in discussion where Firebert is going to spam us all with stupid macros, so I'm just gonna leave now.
All-Nines: E-Ink and E-Paper replicate the look of paper perfectly from what I've seen
@ Lazuli:
You...do realize what thread this is, yes?Oh, actually I didn't.
How did we get on this subject?
furthermore:
^^^ To be fair, the very timing of those images seems to imply that he was posting it in a dismissive way
On the other hand, considering the nature of the thread (and Firebert), I am fairly sure that post served a dual purpose.
soulless reproduction by which I mean there's more to it, including being able to turn pages and stuff.
From what I've seen of e-books, it's not really the same look. Also, what Nova said: turning pages in an e-book isn't the same as turning pages in a paper book.
Not sure what to make of Firebert's use of those macros. Could be bad timing, but it's not as if that first image hasn't seen use here plenty of times.
That's okay, I can do it too.
Watch
Just a reminder that you need to read Fraction's Hawkeye:
Hawkeye was amazing this week.
