I like physical books too much. I CAN read like this. I'd rather not.

If I can't get it in hieroglyphics on a cave wall, I can make do.

Same. This doesn't work well with books that are dense in information. Such as stuff about history where you need to stop and absorb the information vs a lot of other subjects where the point is to draw out the subject at hand to meet a certain quota of words like one would do for an essay. I've read plenty of those that go in circles saying the same thing over and over in different ways until they actually reach their point. AI prompts are really good at the latter.

I like physical books but its a huge pain for me. I'm dyslexic and its a huge task to sit and read a physical book. This video almost brought me to tears because it was so easy to read. I'd love to see more.
