>paying for a book
>a book
>paying
>out of ten!
>just read ebooks bro
>it’s basically reading bro
>tech overlords are generous and don’t care about the book market bro to fuck with us
if you pirate ebooks this doesn't happen
>bro the glowies and techies will not care that there are “illegally” obtained ebooks on their devices
>they totally don’t have access to our devices to know that I illegally download genreslop to my kindle
Ok, retard
my kindle is in airplane mode 24/7, why would you even need internet connection?
>bro bro bro there’s this secret little thing called airplane mode and it totally obviates any access glowie and technies have to my device
>woooooahhh bro you just hacked the matrix
>most wanted man how will the glowies ever recover
tech illiterate. if it isn't connected to wifi (you can check your modem) and it doesn't have cell service then it's not communicating.
>t..
yes. kneel.
>no sim card
>not connected to a wifiap
>but but but
are those glowies in the room with us?
Yes
You are fucking braindead holy shit
>paying
>for fucking EBOOKS
holy shit retard you get what you deserve
yeah, well the books i buy aren't digitally available.
sorry i can't read your normie shit.
plus, the older you go, the closer you get to the uncensored edition.
this is just one example of editorial/publisher fuckery.
For example, I have a few old 18th century novels that have been dramatically altered in their syntax, page length, spelling, and content.
That only happens if you pay for the book.
Looks like piratebros win again.
the irony of complaining about tech overloads while posting from an iphone rofl
used books are disgusting and new books are getting expensive
I like books, okay? I like smelling books, I like throwing books in the air and seeing how many times I can clap my hands before catching it. I like holding books and I like licking my fingers before saying "next page" and turning the page. I like organizing my books on my bookshelf for internet points and I like saying "I'm so bad" when spending $178 for a shopping cart of books to be delivered to me, but only read $40 worth of those books. I like taking books from the neighborhood libraries without putting one in myself. I like using cutouts of Serengeti catalog MILFS as bookmarks and breaking the spine before I even start reading. Okay, so I like books. What's wrong with that?
>parents still insist on a christmas list each year
>just give them my book wishlist
Free kino!! Thanks mom and dad 🙂
>be me
>find used bookstore in backwater small town
>find a couple of books I want and proceed to chat with owner
>he’s a lonely old guy who tells me, among other things, that he’s had the shop for 20+ years
>eventually go to pay for books
>”$10 please”
>give him a $20
>he gives me $5 back but has no other change
>I pull some change out of my pocket, we can’t make it work out to $10
>he forgets that he gave me the $5 and as a consequence almost pays me to take the books
>I sort it out for him, give him the change and promise to come back at some point and give him the difference (I will)
True story. I have another funny from the encounter if anyone’s interested
>having money
>paid $6.99 for a book in just the last week
Is it over for me?
it is one dollar over for you
I’m going back anon, I said it in the greentext. I feel a little sorry for the owner and I’m giving you the other funny even though you didn’t ask:
>be there for ~4 hours (I was killing time for reasons I won’t get into)
>only two other customers entered over that 4 hours, first a dude then later his wife
>the husband says: “I’m looking for something by Susan Brown (or something like that) for my wife. I fucking hate books!”
>I have to hide my laughter somewhere in the back of the store
Did I mention it’s a backwater little town?
>paying for books
>Not using the local library
You pay taxes. Use the public services you paid for.
