where would you download ebooks?

@PhilDeep Thats mosly older books. some of the Greater Classics. but I was referring to more contemporary books

@Tracos Ah okay. I use Kindle format. They're pricey but worth it, I find. Amazon, that is.

@PhilDeep I have a generic epub reader

@PhilDeep Older literature is free on Kindle. And it's better than the most recent fad anyway.

@helenS Proper books are better than anything lol! 😜

@ArtieKat I'm a big fan of papyrus (the whole text rolled up into a scroll). It's the precursor of our books, and (I feel) it's the future of how we will read text. I think the concept of a "page" is obsolete. Those ebooks still emulate "real" books (they still have virtual "pages", although those make no sense), and I think that's just an intermediate step, similar to the first automobiles which emulated horse-drawn carriages.

@helenS This is true. I do love studying literature, though, and find editions with introduction and notes very valuable. Besides that, in IT having latest editions of books is very useful and having code in Kindle copies can be useful too, I find 👍 I'd rather have no Amazon tie-in but there wasn't much competition initially, not sure if there is even now.
