Andy@sapphireangel I use my phone, but lately have been really wishing I had a discrete reading device again. Having books not attached to your phone has its advantages, but also disadvantages.

@acarson @sapphireangel Yeah, it can be fun to use. I’ll just convert EPUB books to plaintext and send ’em off to the Book Port. Very crude, but it does the job for novels and shit.
@acarson @remixman @sapphireangel I really miss my book courier. I have a rockbox-based MP3 player I use now though
@cachondo @acarson I would kill for a software Doubletalk. It’ll never happen, but I can dream. LOL.
@cachondo @acarson @remixman I just use my phone, and I’m okay with that.
@sapphireangel @acarson @remixman There’s something satisfying about having a separate device to read on, away from the notifications, reliance on a touch screen, etc. It cost me about £40 for the player. I could never justify the price of a Stream or sense, any of those sorts of things.
@cachondo @sapphireangel @acarson Indeed. Those devices really are quite expensive.
@cachondo @acarson @remixman See I just start the book on my phone and lock the screen. I have it set so when I wear my watch it vibrates but my phone stays silent. Perfect for me especially since I do a lot of work calls/meetings.
@sapphireangel @cachondo @remixman This is what I do. I just have to remember to put my phone on “do not disturb” when I’m reading in bed lol.
