!ebookreaders@lemmy.zip

I have an unhealthy obsession with ebook readers. At last count, I owned 45 dedicated devices, including the PalmPilot PDA I bought in 1997. I read The Hobbit on that tiny screen. During staff meetings at work! No one had any clue! lol

The idea that I could carry several books in my pocket completely fascinated me, and before long I was collecting every reader I could get my hands on. My budget is tighter now, so I don’t buy anymore unless I see a super cheap deal on ebay that I can rehab or something.

I still read fiction every single day on a dedicated ebook reader, and I still follow news about the newest models. So I figured I might as well start a community, just in case there’s at least one other nerd out there who loves this stuff as much as I do.

And if not, I’m perfectly happy with an audience of one. :)

This is your most successful sock puppet yet, Aaron.

Ya know, this is exactly why I don't just block you and move on. Because I did and here you are, visible from an instance that stopped federating your hog wash, again.

There is no good faith way to interact with you. I don't care if you're reviewing lace coasters at your grandma's house, I cannot trust you to filter my news or entertainment. You can't even steal nostalgia properly, instead you post AI and claim it's from a hard drive you bought and you didn't know.

    This is a really weird comment. Who is Aaron? I have an ereader community and this is for letting people know about it. What AI is in my community? I write about ereaders and I don't use AI. I'm not offering to filter anyones news or entertainment or coasters. I got a message from the admin of my instance saying that it's a good idea to post new communities here.
