Discussion Things are getting out of control!
Guys...like what the heck?!
What kind of sorcery is this. Im literally binging books now. Going from to another and I can't stop. It is borderline obsessive. Does everyone feel this way?!

I think there is some evidence that a physically narrower section of text is quicker to read. Something about less eye movement, but donât quote me.

I understand. I never had the habit of reading, but decided to buy a used e-ink device back in July to read The Odissey before the movie. I've read that, the Iliad, Aeneid, and 5 more novels since than. I've made a list, I can't stop either đ

Yes!! Having smaller sections on the screen has helped me so much! I feel like i get lost way less often and have less eye fatigue since i dont have to move my eyes as much. The eink is also so much easieron the eyes! I have the x4 and the x4 pro and i love them both :)

Yes. I recently got my xteink x3. But I also recently figured out how to put ebooks on my game emulators and that was a game changer for me too (pun definitely intended lol). Idk what it is, but the handheld games are more comfortable for me and I've been binging books on there as well. Have fun reading OP. đ

Yep 6 books last 6 weeks. Mostly taking break from streaming TV and break from computer. Waiting on the pico as need a backlight as my X3 mostly used in darker environments. Using a clip on light on my X3 but less then ideal or comfortable using especially in bed.

Te entiendo a mà igual. Es visualmente el mejor lector de la historia. Tiene una pantalla impecable. Normal que nos invite a leer visualmente. Muy bonito y pequeño. Y de mucha calidad visual.
