I honestly just buy physical books to keep em on the shelf. I pirate the same thing onto my kindle, so I have the convenience of reading on my kindle as opposed to a physical book.

Have tried the base one and a paperwhite, and I just hate the experience, specially the way e-ink refreshes. Something about that breaks the immersion.

I personally have the Oasis. They're WAY faster, and have higher ppi screens. It might take a bit to adjust, but there's no equivalent to walking around with basically my whole library in my jeans pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can display like 4,000 colours at some very low resolution. I havent used any yet, but the normal kindle is black and white which is again pointless for comics and graphic novels But yeah, if its low res with bad colours it might not be worth picking up over the actual book.

Depends on your use case. I don't read more than 1 book at a time, so carrying one is perfectly serviceable for me. Plus nothing, absolutely nothing surpasses the smell and handfeel of a book. Not in a million years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three are watchable - I would start with KingsMan, has action and pacing is good. Then, French Dispatch - a dark comedy and then House of Gucci - full drama with good performances from all the actors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried going back to physical. Left it within one night. Zero use for any of these, except maybe a dictionary. You can google a word anyway. Physical books evoke a sense of nostalgia, forces me to concentrate on one story at a time without distractions, has an intoxicating smell (heh !), let's me scribble info on the sides (prefer writing over typing) etc. I just cannot read on a screen. Heck, I've started reading way less comics on the iPad since I still prefer physical comics. Just looking at a page/panel, artstyle is so much fun. Digital is great if I want to skim through content. It's not.... no idea how to describe this... peaceful. Doesn't feel like I'm learning anything. Reading a physical copy is joyful. It's like an activity you take out time for. I'm old school. Heh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, nothing beats physical books. I have tried reading many books and even comics on iPad, phone, android tablet, it is nowhere near as satisfying as physical books. All those digital features are fads and in real life hardly used 5-10% of the times; I’m a lazy person but not lazy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko89 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City. Good one time watch for a lazy afternoon, especially if you're a fan of the game. +Some CG scenes are pretty good. +Source material respected as much as possible. +Some of the iconic places are exactly like they were in the game. +Robbie Amell as Chris Redfield -Some CG looks straight out of the game or worse like straight to home video type. -Leon Kennedy, hopefully he gets ts proper development if there's a sequel. -Pacing felt odd, ending felt a bit abrupt imo. If a sequel is greenlit, hope it gets a bigger budget, has good potential I think with a tighter script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Physical books evoke a sense of nostalgia, forces me to concentrate on one story at a time without distractions, has an intoxicating smell (heh !), let's me scribble info on the sides (prefer writing over typing) etc. This is where the limitations of the kindle actually work in its favour. I can read in peace, without distractions. It’s silent. It’s purposeful. It could be a lot better in many ways, but it works as a book reading device quite well. Quote I just cannot read on a screen. Heck, I've started reading way less comics on the iPad since I still prefer physical comics. Just looking at a page/panel, artstyle is so much fun. I get that. But the kindle doesn’t feel like a screen. I on the other had genuinely enjoy reading comics on the iPad. Physical is just added irritations for me, the biggest being needing an external light source and carrying the books. There is the missing touch and feel aspect though. But the content itself shines through. Quote Reading a physical copy is joyful. It's like an activity you take out time for. Good way to put it. Yeah. I get that. Different strokes.
