I believe physical books are better than e books.
However, physical work documents are not better than PDFs! Why the hell do boomers print so damn much?
I'm with you on this. Ebooks are super convenient, and I love them for that, but I do like a physical book.
Give me a PDF of a manual I'm rarely going to look at. Let me search that shit.
Have you found a good way to read a PDF? I can't stand reading for an extended period of time on a monitor or tablet. It is so much easier on the eyes to print things. Maybe you could use a color e-ink reader, but the're so friggen expensive.
Ahh that's a fair. I don't really have that issue but I use computer glasses with a blue light filter and when my eyes are feeling sensitive I usually just put some eye drops in. That happens regardless of if I'm using a computer or not though
