  • Yep that’s why I don’t understand all those people with Kindles and huge Amazon book collections. They can literally take it all away on a whim. If I want to own a book I’ll purchase a physical copy, but ebooks? High seas for me. I feel like a ‘free’ ePub in my Dropbox is safer than whatever proprietary format in my Amazon account.

    Edit - getting mostly replies defending ebooks and stating disadvantages of physical books (also, yeah I know books “aren’t for showing of” lol, like that’s the only reason for owning a book).

    Just want to add I have both and get their pros and cons. I read tons on my ereader too, just not a Kindle because fuck that closed system, it’s not for me (for reasons mentioned above).







  • For me it’s not about analog vs digital or mechanical vs quartz vs smart. I just like shiny things, and quality products. Might be me being shallow but I like holding or wearing something that you can tell is made well. Watches are one of the last remaining items left that revolve around craftsmanship. The fact that they tell time is kind of secondary to me haha.
