> Reading on a E-device is a bother, I have to sift through all the "sponsored" books and whatever other crap the ebook reader company decides to add

Sounds like you just chose the wrong device. My Boox does none of this. I just put the epub file in the device and read it.

For me, reading is an escape; from both reality as well as technology. I stare at a screen all fucking day; the last thing I want to do is stare at one during my downtime.

So; I cordon off time every day to read and not touch my devices. Even though I subscribe to streaming music, I prefer to read while listening to vinyl. I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with anyone choosing to read ebooks or do audiobooks; they're just not my preferred way to do it.

That’s not what the person I was replying to was complaining about. I don’t know why you put this unrelated (and perfectly valid btw) opinion as a response to me.

I dunno either. Probably because I was sleepy and clicked the wrong reply link. Carry on kind person. :-)

Same with Kobo.
