I use an E-book reader. You can load any public domain book from the internet on them for free.
Also, all of Twain's books in audiobook are free from here, LibriVox:

Keep the Dewey, put the rest back to gather virtual dust. 😎

@Bix thanks B, been there, done that. I’m a big librivox fan and recommend searching the audio and video files too. Pick an author, or phrase like “radio drama”. @redenigma @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

Canis, I love old time radio, like Lights Out and CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
Listen to them for free (public domain) from here:

@Bix I’m all over that site too! Lots of fun video to be found there! BTW one or the other maybe both host ‘Mindwebs’; a radio show featuring speculative fiction; much better than most of the CBS Mystery Theatre material.

I was thrilled to find the site when I found out they ad Grateful Dead concerts free to download... and now up to
17,238 shows....

Not all that exciting for the non-fans.

@tgraph52 @CanisPundit @redenigma @InUnfunky @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
Yes, the same here. Note, they have other bands too.

@CanisPundit @redenigma @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
Ages ago, I 1st found that site when looking for Grateful Dead bootlegs [Trey, just ignore this comment].

Dear Bixie —

I do not have an — como se dice? — “E-book reader.” Would you think of me as a Luddite (like my vinyl preference) if I read all of my books in paper format? Please advise ASAP.

Long-time fan —

T

@InUnfunky @redenigma @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

Trey, Trey, Trey.
To each their own. I used to travel often, I like reading 3 or so books at the same time - & switch back and forth as my mood changes. My e-book reader let me travel light.

@Bix @InUnfunky @redenigma @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

a son bought an e-book reader for my wife for christmas and was hinting around about it and she was very definite in NOT wanting one... She reads a lot and will always prefer the paper kind

@tgraph52 @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude i am more a fan of dead tree media myself. i had a Nook, but it died... taking my games & a few books with it...

@redenigma @tgraph52 @Bix @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

Hard copies are the best copies.

NTM that I really am not fond of “mobile/smart phones” and glowing screen that hurts my eyes. 😎

@InUnfunky but what about all those bootlegs of books on inferior paper stock? 🤣

eReaders are very different from reading on a phone or computer screen.

They're lit in a way that's easier on your eyes. And the ability to set temperature, brightness, font, and font size makes them easier than a print book. Also, they're light weight.

I do love dead tree books, but my aging eyes and arthritic elbows find it much, much easier to read on an eReader.

@InUnfunky @redenigma @tgraph52 @Bix @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

Also, as a renter, I only have so much room for physical books--but currently own nearly 1000 ebooks.

A rare two-fer!

Another thing, Neil Gaiman's Sandman and V for Vendetta are WAY better on a tablet because I am in my 50's and need reading glasses, but I still like to blow up the text.

@InUnfunky @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude wait, what?! everyone knows vinyl has better sound reproduction... don't they?

@redenigma @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

Not Bixie. 😂

And yes but also — I have yet to hear a 180/200gm remaster that is a disappointment in sound. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm a rebel and a runner
I'm a signal turning green
I'm a restless young romantic
I want to run the big machine
I've got a problem with his poisons
But you know I'll find a cure
I'm cleaning up the systems
To keep my nature pure

What I am saying is that I am learning to match the beat of the old-world man
