Did you pirate your Harry Potter books ?
-
i did. No way I'd financially support Rowling, given her... stance on things.
-
It's just as likely they were bought before, considering how long they were popular before she went off the rails.

I don't know how accurate this is as quite often I'll leave my Kobo awake on the desk and read a few pages occasionally while I'm working from home. I probably read more than 0.8 pages a minute (though I do have the text size set quite small)
-
Not really from a digital device like your screenshot but I keep track in a Google sheet. I also shared how much are from audible which has significantly increased over the last ~10 years.

I haven’t read in a bit, because I switched to audiobooks. Now I listen.

Man I just switched to KOBO Libre Colour and I am loving it. I wish we had a strong community here for it. It's delightfully hackable.
-
We should revive !ereader@lemmy.world then :)
-
I'm all for that. Already engaging there some.

Not sure if audiobooks are blasphemy here 🙃
Not sure why it doesn't show hours before December. Total amount listened is
5 months 18 days.Although it is skewed because I fall asleep listening and often forget to set a timer.
-
I'm more into listening at the moment.

I just factory reset to set up calibre-web sync on new years day .

This is my third kobo ereader l'm not sure if the stats transfer between them, but they probably do, read 70-120 books a year.
Holy hell dude. That’s a LOT of reading
Sure, but it's since 2011, before that I bought real books. Having years of commuting 3 hours 3 times a week also helps. E-readers have made it a lot easier for me to read in between other tasks. 5 minute reading sessions add up over the year
What other fiction do you enjoy? I finished all the Cosmere books, but I seem to be a little picky when it comes to fiction I have learned.
I should add Brian McClellan with the powder mage books, Brent Weeks with the Lightbringer books and Peter V Brett with the demon cycle are some very good series with some unique and well thought out magic systems that I really enjoyed.
Oh, have a list of authors on fantasticfiction.com. (can really recommend the site to keep up to date of book releases and find new books/authors to read) here's a photo:
I finished Way of Kings the other day. It was incredible! Can't wait to read the next book.
Do you have suggestions for other Authors/books? I liked all the Cosmere books to varying degrees.
I read Brian McClellan powder mage books, which are sort of similar and enjoyed those. I also read Cradle series by Will Wight which is not similar, but I enjoyed it a lot and it was an easy break from some more dense reading.
