probably not
there's an exclusively sensual pleasure to reading a book-book that you can't replicate on a screen. the rigidity of the pages, the smell of the decade it was published in, the texture of the covers, etc, etc.
but whether these things matter much is a different topic. they do exist tho.

Autism, folks

rude

Calling autism is the new autism, son.
Yeah sure. I've read several books online and enjoyed them immensely (however, I still prefer reading from a physical copy).
>>7415831
Sure. You're still getting the same prose, the same diction, the same story. The only downside to a pdf is if you have a headache and can't stand to sit in front of a screen or if the document is compressed in a certain way that makes the text unreadable.

If you're a piece of shit and don't like turning pages.
Getting used to reading on a tablet has ruined actual books for me.
Having to hold it open, not being able to look up words automatically, the paper on my very sensitive hands. It's very nice to just be able to hold a smooth rectangle.
One of the best things is being able to search in the book if I've forgotten a character, or an event that is being referred to. That alone makes reading large books something I likely won't even try if it isn't digital.

Heres a crazy idea,
why dont you purchase a book and donwload a pdf and make up your own god dman mind you lazy piece of shit.
Then make a thread about something you can actually talk about.
>>7415982
That's genuinely a little sad

>the paper on my very sensitive hands
Why don't you jerk me off with those sensitive hands you fucking queer!

Studies on Norwegian primary school pupils (I think) have shown that reading e-books garners less basic reading comprehension, so probably not
It can be more pleasurable, depending on the quality of the book
for instance if the book has really small fucking letters, or faded, or the paper quality is shit, then pdfs can be less of a hassle
just get an ebook reader bro
I just listen to audio books.

Idk op, can you?

the only thing that is autistic about that is book sniffing. cause really, there could be mold or airborne things. i hear ya, it gives the book character, but i dont like it if it smells like a old lady's mothballs or cigarettes and there could be airborne agents that fuck up your lungs. so ya tldr, i wouldnt go around sniffing books, particularly used books

I sniff books all the time. I- probably should stop doing that in stores...

What kind of tablet do you have? I was considering picking up an e-reader or something come boxing day.

I'd say it depend if you like to read or you like reading books. I like the colour of old pages, the sensations of the book, and others things like that but since I am a reading lover this has nothing to do with it. I read on a e-reader, on a wall, on the street, on my desk, on your forehead, I really don't mind the support as long as the content is enjoyable.

Try epub and an e-reader, far better than a PDF and a normal screen.
I used to read on my computer and it sucked. Using an ereader now and it sacrifices a few things for valuable pros.
I have a copy of IQ84 but it's over 1000pgs so it's not convenient in any context, so I just read it on my ereader.
Or if I'm reading something difficult I can look up most words I don't know almost instantaneously.
Also I can adjust the print size and font to my liking for all books, never have to squint or press the book to my face.
Overall I think it sacrifices comfy for convenience and it's up to you whether you like it or not.

It's actually been proven ppl absorb greater knowledge of books than screens. Why are you surprised?
With that said if you own an e reader you're basically an abomination

The pdf reader has been spotted.
What about Kindle should I get one ?
