      Do you really read with that huge font size? Doesn’t it annoy you to flip pages every 10 seconds?

        One of the best things about ebook readers is once you get old, you can still read your favorite books!

        Lol i have no idea. I have all the ebooks but this is quite a bit further than the last book that came out. I like tge books more because they are edited and i believe pirate aba deserves $$.

        I downloaded the web serial a bit ago sp this is based on that. On a tangent, this is the only ebook reader that will load the wandering inn in completion. Over 100mb of pure txt. As an ebook it was 4.6 GB big. I started reading this series a coupke of years ago and om just now nraeing the 50% mark. God its massive. Its my soap opera of writing haha.

      It really is. I baught a second one a few years after they stopped making them. So I’ve got a grey one and a black one. I love i can hold them like a book and the svreen doesn’t move. Plus no backlight means it’s easy on yhe eyes.

          Ill be honest i just read in the light. Or use a small 50c book light. Its a decade old ebook reader. It works and still lasts about a week with a very old battery.

          There are snap-on small lights that would illuminate the Kindle screen, rather than glow in your eyes. People used to read books too without a backlight through various ways.

            Yeah but thats additional item you need to have with you.

            Not sure what you mean by no backlight is easy for the eyes. Is it really bad?

            EDIT: not you, but the person i replied to

          If you enjoy references, you should check out the He Who Fights With Monsters series. There have been a few unexpected references that had me full blown belly laughing.

            I recently finished Dungeon Crawler Carl and someone suggested this as related. I’m going to have to check it out after I finish the Hyperion cantos (I just recently discovered Endymion)

              Fair warning, the series lives or dies based on whether or not you like the main character. He’s very divisive, so you’ll either love the series or hate it.

              Also, the books make a point of listing relevant skills and abilities before they’re used. In a written format, this isn’t bad. It acts as a sort of quick reference. But in the audiobooks, (especially the early ones) it means you end up listening to the same skill descriptions like a dozen times throughout the course of the book. Later audiobooks shifted the descriptions to an index, instead of having them inline with the rest of the text. This dramatically cleared things up for the listener.

                Thanks for the heads up!

                For some reason I can’t get into audio books so text it is :)
