Whatever you do, don't get in the habit of annotating physical books. Trust me.

Notes only in ebooks.

What is your reason

>>24473303 (OP)
The problem with free ebooks, even the ones on the public domain, is that 99% of them are formatted horrible and have shit tons of errors and/or missing segments

i have about 2,5k ebooks and this has never happened to me

>>24473303 (OP)
EPUBs are broken pieces of shit
Use PDF or DjVu

Redpill me on DjVu

Bassically pdf, but unbloated, not an executable, open sourced and russian
Third most popular file format after pdf and epub

>>24473303 (OP)
Get both

It's hard to read anything digitally. The bright lights and screen flares hurt my eyes after a couple of hours (especially when straining to read).

I read both but I feel my retention is better with physical books and reading them is usually comfier.
