How time and prices have changed can be clearly seen from this image below:

Now the resistance and wall was at $29k last week but now we are ready to break $50k wall again to reach $100k mountain.

>and stay away from kindles... amazon trash

I love my kindle.  its what, 5 years old, battery last forever, has wifi.  I use it with Calibre, download and read the Economist for free on it every week or any book/magazine/news you find online for that matter.  I never paid for a single ebook yet and dont plan to.  Thats how I live my whole life.  Renting/subscription models can suck my satoshi

wife has a kindle. it works but its part of the amazon ecosystem that im trying to distance myself from. you know for sure your kindle is reporting back everything you do with it, the Nook, not so much. at least from what ive read on the matter. ive also read (not confirmed it myself) that amazon can change the text of your ebooks on the kindle and also remove them arbitrarily. this was a while ago, maybe its true maybe not.

but anyway i also use calibre  its awesome for ereaders to organize stuff and convert between formats.

both the kindle and nooks have great battery life even with the reading light on.

Nook also takes standard SD cards for memory expansion. the kindle (at least the one my wife has) does not. both my Nooks do have SD card slots.

Nook also seems to have a better user interface to me.

edit: i do buy a lot of ebooks through the Nook but the bulk of my stuff is free or like 99 cent sales and such. of course you can also side load anything you find if thats your thing.

They can change the text but they will not because the author of the book could sue them for changing their rightful property. Amazon are a marketplace and the authors sell their creations on it. The only way Amazon could change the book contents legally is if the author went through Amazon's book publishing otherwise they would open themselves up for legal battles.

Actually they did that already in 2009, ironically they deleted George Orwells 1984 and Animal Farm from users devices. Also in some instances it was reported that Harry Potter magically disappeared from people's devices:

I didn't find any exact information on what telemetry information the kindle collects and reports back to device-metrics-us.amazon.com but I am pretty confident they know everything about your reading habits.

interesting.. so (say) the government could pressure amazon that the history books that you bought and own on your kindle can be "revised" - just pressure the author or whatever.

no thanks.

whats on my Nook never changes. my historic and scientific stuff will never be "improved" to match the current political climate.

Fuck amazon, fuck Google

Anyone who supports this shit company deserves their books to be deleted

thanks for the link. did a real quick search but couldnt find anything.

yeah how soon until language in mark twains huckleberry finn is changed to switch to "politically correct" terms in place of what are currently considered offensive terms. being public domain at this point i wonder if they could just do it with no legal repercussions.

The reason that I prefer the physical books and some newspapers in my library, is they cannot be revised.
History especially is being continually revised to change inconvenient facts that contradict current ideology.
A recent read of George Orwell's 1984 is even a more accurate vision of the future (2021) than when I first read it in 1970.

When you keep repeating something for 10 years and you are constantly wrong, it must have serious consequences for your mental health. The next statement that can be expected is : "Bitcoin will not be able to stay above $50K for 10 consecutive days ever again!"

When I mentioned mental health, then one such statement is more than enough confirmation of completely illogical thinking.

Yeah, I've been here for a while and that's kind of what I think. It's been a very long, slow death, but it probably did die 10 or so years ago. My guess is it was the MtGox flashcrash that ultimately killed bitcoin. Just really no way to trust this "currency" after that. I think in a years time we'll be able to see that 2011 to 2021 was nothing more than one giant dead cat bounce.

I don't see a problem. I'm just reporting the conclusions of perfect mathematical and scientific analysis and modeling using confirmed sources.
