"It's on the internet archives" "You can just buy the eBook" "there's probably a pdf somewhere out there 　you can pirate" those are all very valid and very good options and alternatives but have you considered I don't want to spend hours upon hours looking at a screen until my vision gets blurry because the eye strain gives me headaches and it's also bad for the eyes in general because the blue rays damage your retina and also it gives me headaches and makes my eyes hurt

#not a criticism of like. online books or wjatever one would call that #realistically speaking I know it's probably the economically better alternative because less paper and sooo much cheaper and more accessible #in theory the accessibility part is in theory #it's more accessible when we're talking about english literature try finding good German translations online for free that's a hassle #i imagine it's not better for languages like...italian or something thats not as widely spoken as English french or spanish I suppose #I'm just a little annoyed because I have the option of spending money to read comfortably with an actual book in hand #or saving money and storage space but instead damaging my eyes and getting myself a pretty little headache as a treat #reading for relaxation just doesn't really work when your head starts to hurt after half an hour of staring at this bright thing #because a lot of pdfs also don't have an option to reverse the colours #black background and white letters I mean #and paper doesn't glow so thats not an issue there. there the problem is just if it's printed well #idk I'm just tired and annoyed that books cost money when you want to read them in a way that doesn't make your head and eyes hurt
