A L 217 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 I read fast, so not really Werent you implying that I should read from PDF? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 ^Yes, but I was just saying that thermal energy consumed by a laptop does not bother me as I read fast. Pages of Percy Jackson: (300x5 = from PJO) (600x5= from HoO)= 4,500 pages x number of copies printed (dunno, around 300 million?)= LOTS OF TREES Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And those books can be recycled, or if preserved, would not require constant energy to indulge in them. Besides, I need one copy. Compared to the energy one computer of mine would use, one book is better. If the same ratio is mantained, which I highly doubt, not everyone has a computer, then books are still better.

I first read Mark of Athena on PDF, but I prefer books. But PDF reading is easier. 1st bolded statement- It's 9 books, and you only want one copy?

Metantei Kiddo 147 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 I still prefer PDF. Theres not much waste of energy from it if youre reading it on a tablet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 Or E-reader! But I still prefer the traditional book, if I can buy it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metantei Kiddo 147 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 yup thats the problem.. Cant BUY it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A L 217 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 And to think that you arent the only one wanting a book of it. Its not just one copy. *cough* should have added "on a larger scale" After mentioning if the ratio remained uniform if it wasnt clear. 2nd bolded statement: I agree with this. I first read Mark of Athena on PDF, but I prefer books. But PDF reading is easier. 1st bolded statement- It's 9 books, and you only want one copy? Of each. Still, time taken to read increases, both for books and computer, and books were a better option before and remain better still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 If you buy E-reader (around $100/Php4000), you can read a lot of books with no load added. (Oh geez, I sound like I'm advertising it..) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metantei Kiddo 147 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 lol so you bought one? @al- Still prefers electronic reading Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 @Rabbit above me- No @The other Rabbit- Nothing beats the feeling of pages flipping under your fingers, yes, but we need to adapt to modern technology. But I still prefer books though except some of my textbooks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metantei Kiddo 147 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 yup thats the point. Books will go phase out. Soon holographic books will be invented and take over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd prefer if they came with a keyboard and you could write on them as well. Then I could write under the blanket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patronus Charm 53 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 because electronic reading also means "i can turn my attention into something else with just a flick and voila! internet.." an excuse perhaps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 @White Rabbit- I used to have one, and it had a keyboard, games, and internet too. But no writing @HP- TRUE! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A L 217 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 No writing sucks. A tablet would just be better then, no? OMM: Gah! I ended up making the evil seem good and the good seem evil in my plot now what should I do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metantei Kiddo 147 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 because electronic reading also means "i can turn my attention into something else with just a flick and voila! internet.." an excuse perhaps? this. And perhaps electronic is lighter than books.@AL-Call kettle xD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nara-chan 38 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 ^E-readers are lighter @White Rabbit- why would ya wanna write? To my knowledge, there is no gadget that enables you to write on them (except if you want to break it) And the reason technology was invented was to make lives easier, ya know?! @Pink Rabbit- Kettle? KtPT? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A L 217 Report post Posted January 11, 2014 I am writing a book and the cold bites my hands as I work my pen. Gloves are futile if I want to write comprehensibly. Hence, writing under a warm blanket. Also, some tablets are just the same as an E-Reader, save for the OS. And why Kettle? He's not evil. :V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
