E-ink for travel, paper at home. No need to pick a side.

Audiobooks count as reading. The book doesn't care which sense you use.

Agreed, and I'd add that it takes a while before it clicks.

Rereading is underrated. You're a different reader the second time.

Abandoning a book is fine. Life is short and there are too many good ones waiting.

The first hundred pages of most Russian novels are a test of patience, after that it flows.
