Re: Do you read ebooks?
The other thing to consider is that we are running out of trees to make the paper. Literally. I live in the Pacific Northwest in the USA. Trees are cut down at an alarming rate and can't grow back fast enough. With climate change, these trees are dying because its becoming hotter and hotter and we aren't getting enough rain. It's always been good for growing trees, but that is changing. We are having raging wild fires which are consuming millions of acres of trees every year now. Trees also produce the very air we breathe. So we cut them down excessively and we can no longer breathe. We also need trees to build houses. If we are to survive, we have to adapt.Re: Do you read ebooks?
Yes, it would, but I don't know how one would do that. I like doing it this way. That way I can offer books for free as I feel the need. One of my books is free now. It's about the crimes my brother committed. I can't see myself wanting to make a profit from all that pain.Re: Do you read ebooks?

https://www.smashwords.com/ has 77,000 free books. Offering free books is a way to advertise.Re: Do you read ebooks?
I like original books of course. There’s nothing quite like having a real book with real pages in your hands BUT there IS definitely a place for ebooks. Those people who don’t have access to a local library, have minimal storage space or people with failing eyesight. One thing I love about ebooks is that you can adjust the letterhead to your own personal preference. You can read at night without the need for a lamp or light on since ereaders have built in lights. That way you aren’t bothering others who might want to sleep.Re: Do you read ebooks?
Only real paper books I read these days are cookery books, all my fiction is free from amazon and my kindle and my phone are my preferred reading mediums.Thread Tools | |
