LIMITED EBOOKS

Ebooks cannot be highlighted. Paper books allow freedom to highlight any way the reader wishes. Ebook highlighting is determined by a third party software programmer, so Ebooks are stunted by his limited intelligence.

It is a huge problem rendering Ebooks a waste of time. At 2 to 8 hours per books, Ebooks squander a huge chunk of one’s life. I read one, the last Ebook ever because I care about my time.

And I have heard it before, the highlight function is right there in the menu. No, that is a third party’s vision of organizing info, which is poorly thought out eg Amazon sucks.

Mine highlights just fine. Choice of colors, too.

Highlights stay there no matter what device I open it in. I can read on my phone, pad, laptop or desktop. It knows where I left off, too.

I can change the color of the text to be black on white, white on black, or Sepia.

I can change the font to one of eight choices.

I can change the size of the font to suit my device and/or whether I remembered my reading glasses or not.

I can even change the line spacing.

Best of all, I joined Book Bub and get notified when books I like are discounted or free. Last year I read over 30 books and paid less than $20 for all of them, total. How, pray tell, do ebooks squander any more time than print books?
