#E-Books
Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

Does anyone else still prefer reading physical books over e-books???

“Real books” this, “e-ink” that.

Grow up and read your books the proper way.

This is such great news. For so long Amazon has had a chokehold on ebooks. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/b...

Personally I just really love reading.

But I also adore libraries so go to your library this new year. They have all the books, you can request books and they nearly all have a online service for e books these days. #Libraries2026

Good news out of Colorado! A Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries. Good work! www.denverpost.com/2025/03/19/e...
Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries
The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”

People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

Good news for folks who want to support local booksellers

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically.

36% of all banned books contain a character or a real person of color. But sure, this is about protecting the children. people.com/sex-claims-e...

It’s terrifying, honestly, when I realize how dependent we are on Amazon and how hard it is going to be to disconnect from it. But this is one piece of the effort — another better approach to E-books.

Because admit it. You think Jeff Bezos won’t disappear disfavored e-books if Trump demands it?

I saw someone criticizing a very funny poster for making jokes instead of posting about politics, and I am reminded of a favorite line from E. B. White: We should strive not for balanced books but balanced libraries

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

Today I learned that NASA has a collection of free ebooks that can be downloaded as pdfs or ebub format.

The science books even include a children’s section with fun activites and coloring books!

Bookshop.org Now Sells E-Books, Huzzah And Hooray
Did you knooooooow that you no longer necessarily have to be tethered to Amazon for your e-books? I mean, okay, you didn’t need to be technically anyway — obviously you can buy e-books …

Hello friendos

Your librarian here with a tip

Ditch Duolingo and their AI and use your library card to access Mango or Rosetta at your library. You can also check out language CDs and DVDs, as well as books, phrase books, dictionaries and e-resources.

E-books are reading.
Comics are reading.
Genre is reading.
Fanfic is reading.
Text-based games are reading.
Audiobooks are reading.
Braille books are reading.
Non-fiction is reading.
Picture books are reading.
There is no single way to read, nor is any reading style more worthy than another.

Anyone can access books through a library or even e-books on the internet.

And unlike AI LLMs, books are not riddled with factual mistakes. The "education" someone might get from AI is a miseducation.

AI is not for people who want an education. It's for people who want to avoid one.
