    Physical copies, I'd rather be able to have a book in my hand and read the pages properly. Plus, when you're finished reading (if you're not going to reread it or keep it) you can always sell it or donate it!

    Definitely the physical books
    ... firstly... because they won't ruin your retinas, cones and rods and after a long night-time reading

    Secondly, because the e-books don't smell lovely nor has an exclusive font

    yeah
    and, well, don't you think that it's harder to remember all the stuff we've just read in an ebook, like it sucks our eyes and catches our memory?

    Definitely! I've heard about a feature in some versions of Kindle called electronic paper (?) which turns off the screen (except the pixels from the font) and makes it "absorb" the outside light in order to make the reading process more effective, similar to a real book, but... but...

    but, you know, they still haven't invented a "book smell" feature

    sounds fancy (and expensive) - i think i'll stick to physical copies. i only use my kinda when i go abroad because i'm a fast reader and it saves a lot of space to carry a kindle than 3-4 actual books.

    definitely needs a book smell feature!

    One question:
    You, fast readers... do you remember clearly what you've just read? Because, like, whenever I try to pretend I'm one of you, my brain reacts very bad, forgetting 80% of the content in five minutes, just like a dream

    If you do, is your memory based on the moments the book you imagined during the reading or you can really remember all the words, almost exactly the way it's written?

    Apologies for the awkward question but I always wanted to know about this
