Libgen, but I have a kobo e-ink reader and 90% of what I read is nonfiction
I need paper i need it. I dont know why but i cannot read books unless they are made of paper, hardcovers preferred.
I can't read ebooks because they aren't real, they dont exist. That knowledge is forbidden to me. Eldritch even
Libgen is a fantastic resource though 10/10
I've definitely heard that from people and I appreciate the visceral quality of books. The smell, the feel, writing in the margins with a Dixon Ticonderoga pencil.
I used to try reading on my phone, but I can't read more than like 80-100 pages on it, at a certain point I just can't bring myself to do it. Probably a similar thing. So the e-ink is 1000% better than the phone. Also small to medium sized books are fine but if I'm reading 1000+ page doorstop the kobo is great.
