same, but for my steam library
god my steam library is severely backlogged
You guys are buying ebooks? :o
Arrrr matey
I like visiting this library called Genesis
Why not? Granted I only get through 1 or 2 books a month, but it's a minuscule part of my budget. I can't say I've looked into it, but I assume it's also the best way to actually support the author.
I bought the Monogatari series on humble bundle a few years ago. No DRM and all the books for about 20€
I also own some of them physically
why buy ebooks when we have horrible, horrible xianxia webnovels?
Basically my steam library as well.
Same here, I just keep adding to the backlog I already have.
I wrote a script that emailed me whenever a book on my Amazon wishlist dropped to 99p.
Had to turn it off after a few weeks 😅.
That was a fun read, cool little tool!
LibGen makes it so I'm not spending extra - just stacking up more books!
Oh god all the humble bundles of books. I've got years of backlog already
Hey, I didn't come here to be attacked in this brutal fashion.
Now I could read my backlog, or I could just browse Lemmy...
I realize that if I would be reading non-stop - I would not finish all books I have. Just a passing thought before buying a new one. ;D
Libby and Hoopla are making it impossible to consume all of my audible credits to the point where I should just cancel my membership.
Using these services validates the ongoing funding of libraries while (hopefully) sending some money downstream to writers in the form of residuals.
I like Libby, but:
- Their client for web browsers (on Windows at least) is really buggy with a touchscreen (Surface Pro)
- I like it for magazines, but they compress the hell out of the images and it's mildly annoying
- I can't read books on a Kindle as they only allow that in the US
Still though, it's free so I can't complain too much.
I love libby
I'm glad I'm not alone.
I switched to audiobooks. I just don't have the time to read like I used to. Originally got started on them by accident, but they've grown on me; considerably.
Oh god. I do this so much, not just with books, but also with other kinds of media, and even programming projects... Sometimes I even read like 90% of a book and then for some reason start reading a completely different one and only finish the book months later.
Same, except with "game ideas that I can surely implement in a month why not"
I swear, half my drive used to be filled with unity projects I worked on for two weeks before getting bored 😅
I recently found the kindle ebook daily deals page…and I have a buying problem now
nervously looks at how many books are sitting on my storage devices
