@asm@mstdn.party I generally agree with you, and I will never entirely give up my physical print books. There is something to be said about the convenience of an e-reader, though. Assuming it's an e-ink display and you're not using the backlight (something that's apparently still necessary for full-colour, e-ink displays) the battery should last a really long time. This is because e-ink only uses power while it's being changed, static images take no power to stay on.

@asm@mstdn.party What I won't give up for convenience, though, is ownership. This means no kindles or other devices that the company retains control over and can delete things off my own device that I paid for and should legally own
