physical books are great to show people that you're a reader. I used a bookshelf on the background during a job interview and I got the job lmao

phew... great thing I don't buy e-books, I pirate them 😂

Not all books I ever read are worth keeping or remembering, except for reference books, so do not want them to take up physical space. Sometimes even with a book I like, I may only like to read again a partial section and not a whole book. I can relate to the pain when these big tech companies failing bridging various softwares and ignoring customers impact.

on amazon u can pay 4 a subscription and access all the books u want like on Spotify with music... but I get the collector perspective and I like to buy fancy hard cover editions from time to time. The password problem happened to me as well and it wasn't a big deal, maybe amazon improved its services nowadays.. This said not all books get printed and saying no to digital means cutting yourself off millions of authors from all over the world. And what do u do with books that only get published in the US, Spain, France? Even tho I have two homes now and I am not always on the move the convenience of the kindle heavily surpasses all cons for me. Plus my sight went down so glasses.. needing a light next to the bed.. so complicated!

I use a kindle but I don’t pay for the ebooks, if I enjoy the book I will buy a hard copy of the book.

Your editing is so nice, lol. I had a Booktube channel a couple years back, and editing is what tripped me up and made me quit. I think I need to take an online class for it. 🙂

What about fire / water damage and Termites ? Physical books are not fully safe either :)

The reason I no longer buy physical books is because I don’t mind keeping then, I just wanna read and move on, so most of the books I get are in digital form (reading and deleting later) and the physical ones I get are from some people, public library and if I have to buy it I get them all used because I will read and then pass them on. That’s why I love my ereaders and I don’t see myself giving up on them.

Great video. Very liked then you show cover of books. For me, as a not native speaker, what really was helping to find books on the amazon kindle store.

Great video. I am not native speaker, but I can understand what you say in video. You do a great job. I think sometimes you can open a reading club based on this canal

I was diagnosed with clinical depression in 1970, but experienced it long before that. I've been hospitalized twice, had over a dozen ECT sessions (bilateral -- resulting in amnesia from which I've never completely recovered, but I was able to reconstitute some memories by reading my own journal, which was like reading somebody else's!). I agree with everything you say here. Glad you've received so much benefit from reading, and here's hoping others viewing this video will profit, too. Best wishes from Midwest USA.

All good advice here. And may I say I very much appreciate your straightforward, no-nonsense, yet friendly style of presentation, with no distracting music or sensationalist elements. Thank you for an intelligent and humane video!

Hey can you suggest books of this genre other than recursion

This guy needs more subscribers! Really nice production quality. I would be interested in seeing you review the Kobo Libra Color!

Buy drm free books...

Thank you for this foundational advice, Razu. I appreciate the succinct way you express your ideas and am also really impressed with the overall quality of your channel's audio and video work. Well done!

These are good tips! Thank you!

Welcome to Booktube! I look forward to seeing more!

Nice video. Keep up the good work 👍

Old? These came out when I was a freshman in high school.

Great video! Huge DL fan myself. The authors' skill level has increased exponentially since Chronicles, though I still love those books! I recommend the Lost Chronicles Trilogy if you haven't read it yet. That's the perfect combination of nostalgia and expert storytelling and fills in the gaps of events that took place during the Chronicles with most of the same characters. Cheers!

Dragonlance absolutely has been a huge part of my life and I always love to revisit Krynn

Goblins? In Solace? My gateway into DragonLance was the SNES game Legendary of Zelda 3, A Link to the Past. I borrowed from a neighbor. Then later at K-Mart around 1992 or so was Dragons of Autumn Twilight. The first fantasy book I read. The covers were amazing. I liked Sturm the most, which makes sense. I'm a Cancer Sun, Virgo Moon, and Scorpio rising. Or an INFJ-T. Which basically boils down to Paladin, Oath of the Ancients.

Great job on the video! I love hearing about others' experience with Dragonlance.

Along with The Hobbit and Terry Brooks original Shannara trilogy, Dragonlance was also my gateway to fantasy fiction and RPG's. As you said every character in the group develops as the books progress and probably my favourite is Flint (yes I'm biased, I love dwarves!). He is the perfect comedy foil for Tasslehoff, pretty much always falling foul of the Kenders mischief. However I always read him as the original leader of the group and his travels with Tanis are all about preparing him to become leader of their group. Flints development is different from the others in the group and probably the most tragic, he is old and his body and mind just don't work as quickly or efficiently as he wants. This is what gives him his gruffness and at times rudeness. Tasslehoffs optimism and childish nature however almost act as an antidote to this and help Flint deal with his aging body and mind. It's almost as if Tasslehoff knows what Flint is going through but would never approach the subject with the grumpy dwarf. Their friendship really hit a note with me and without spoilers I'm not afraid to say it made me shed a tear or two.

I love the way you introduce tech while sharing ur personal stories. Watching your video is like chatting with a friend. Thanks a lot. Love from 🇨🇳

The intro was so good it deserves a separate comment! The narration and the cinematics of it, gosh, just perfect!

Love your channel name, very clever. I have also just joined BookTube, & I'm a writer, so I really relate to your story. I also have a difficult background with PTSD, with many mental health struggles, so relate to your story here too. It's important to write about this stuff, isn't it, without becoming melodramatic. I will enjoy following you.

Cosmic horror, wow, I must get into some of this - sounds amazing. I love fantasy & magic realism, but have been slow in coming to horror, must explore. Thanks for this stimulating prod.

I am really enjoying following your adventures with books. Hope you are still feeling creative & productive. This can be so important for good mental health, can't it?

Ah, thanks for this, I have a very similar story. I also write & vlog about this. It's so important, isn't it? I have really enjoyed discovering your channel.

This comes off as more of a PSA to keep your accounts updated with current information. Comes off a bit disingenuous as the title sounds like books were removed when it was your own faults in account updating. The device issue is a bit of a yikes and for sure not your fault, but keeping up with important accounts otherwise really should be the driving point here. I do agree in backing up any books you do buy - you already paid for it.

I was in 7th grade, helping my dad run a xnas tree stand in Graham, WA. We went to the nearby Safeway and he told me i could get a book to read while i sat in the trailer waiting for customers to come buy trees. Now that i think about it, i doubt anyone would leave a 7th grader in charge of a business these days. Lol.. but the book i found was Dragons of Winter Night.... i didnt know it was the second book in a trilogy! Even though i couldnt fully grasp the story i knew i had found something special.

Like you, this world is what got me into reading and fantasy in general.

a lot of times I just borrow e-books from my library so I'm not worried about the few books that I have purchased

physical books are great but they take up space.......lots of space.....

Try a boox device. The Note Air c or the go 7.

Wow what an intro!

Hi enjoyed your video, good luck

Those books saved me from the boredom of my live as a country girl. Had to travel an hour to get English books back then. Those and Elfquest comics were all my heart could ever want. I heard someone reading the first book on UA-cam (not an official audio book) and I swear I now can hear the dice roll when something good or bad happend. It was still a fun story to experience again and well told but as a player and GM it's obvious this was a campaign the authors played.

For me this was David Eddings "The Belgariad" and "The Mallorean". Full of the standard tropes, a nobody boy becomes Wizard and king. None of the cultures were unique, all based on real world ancient cultures. There was a pilgrim country, a Roman country, a viking country, etc. But there's something comforting and enjoyable about the common tropes when they're well done, especially when you enjoy the characters that are moving through them.

Some great tips!

Thanks Razu!!! :D

My teenaged heart adored these books and characters!

i dont know why yt recommended me this but now in interested with dragonlance - never heard of it before

i think if you own a digital copy of a book, then is legal to read a pirated one.

Wonderful video! Dragonlance was a massive part of my childhood and I would love to give The Chronicles and Twins Trilogies a re-read one day. Tas is one of my favorite characters in all fiction. 😀 I also really loved the wizard.. Fizball...I think? I have to say I think the Twins Trilogy is my favorite in the entire series in terms of the writing, mature themes, originality, character arcs and storytelling. Magnificent! Let me know if you would like to have a live chat sometime.

Dragonlance was the best in my early teens. Raistlin Majere was my first book boyfriend 😂

I remember the Chronicles quite fondly as they were my gateway into fantasy when I was a kid. And of course I also have to mention the "Twins" trilogy which was excellent too. Do you know if we can get it as a board game?

I just got a kindle scribe and absolutely love it and take it with me everywhere
