    Nearly felt suckered into buying a couple of books at the airport store… but nope, as much as I like the feeling of pages through my hands and not staring at a screen, I ain’t paying full RRP and I don’t have space for more books anyway. And I had a $50 Amazon voucher so phone kindle it is.

        Haha I have a stack on my ancient kindle. Been using Calibre on library ebooks for over a decade. I’m really bad at concentrating on reading these days though…

          There’s a jailbreak for kindle now for any model. Allows native epub books and a much, much better reader.

          I collected a few torrents and sorted them by author. It’s about 60k books lol

      Airports are pretty much the only place I buy books (except on Audible). Consider me a sucker 😭

        Man, there is just something romantic and satisfying about having a paper book at the airport and on the plane
