@ceruleanspark Ewwww, ereaders.
-
@redenchilada WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND DOING THAT. I don't go up to people with books and go "eeew inefficient tree based media".
-
@ceruleanspark Books don't need batteries.
-
@ceruleanspark I think she'd like that. :3
-
@ceruleanspark Hey, I like my inefficient tree-based media.
-
@colfax So I guess I have to take a guitar with me everywhere since my mp3 player needs batteries
-
@cptscoot *hums a song*

@colfax I have never had an issue with my Kindle's battery life, but yes, this is true. I'm just not a fan of the storage density of paper media. I also like the "Instant access" functions. Being able to buy a book from the middle of goddamn nowhere is nice. Especially if you're not going to be able to leave anytime soon.
-
@ceruleanspark Yeah, and their ability to delete stuff you've paid for is a nice perk too.
-
@ceruleanspark But can you tear pages out of a Kindle and fold them into paper planes?
-
@colfax They're not able to do that anymore.
-
@ceruleanspark Also not very keen on a massive database of what books I like being out there either.
-
@redenchilada (Which, if it's not, should be a feature in all ereaders.)
-
@colfax That's not an issue with e-readers though. That's an issue with a couple of very specific ereaders. If you buy a non-networked sony and load it up with pirate books, then none of those things are an issue.
-
@redenchilada I carry a field-notes notebook just so I can do that with a $30 notebook.
-
@ceruleanspark oh man can you pirate books now
-
@ceruleanspark It's easier to just go to the library.
-
@redenchilada That is how I mostly get my books, yes. Occasionally I buy stuff from amazon on it, but mostly just stealing.
-
@ceruleanspark But it's much more fun to give reading to whomever picks up your paper plane!
-
@redenchilada and not $30 grid marked notepaper?
-
@ceruleanspark I want to read your airplanes, not graph calculations on them.
-
@redenchilada What if I wrote haikus on them?
-
@ceruleanspark That would be better, actually. "This is an airplane\It is made out of paper\I wrote this on it"
-
@redenchilada There should be a !haiku group!
-
@redenchilada Consider it done / Another novelty group / Soon forgotten, cold - !haiku
