I both read books and listen to audiobooks. I cannot sit at my bench and read a book. I also cannot drive a car and read a book. In both circumstances I can listen to an audiobook and still pay attention to what I am doing. This is called multi-tasking. I am not wasting my time. Also, what is the beauty of reading? Reading is reading. Personally, I do not find any beauty in sitting down with a book with my eyes glued to the pages. Apache |

You forgot to add “for you.” It’s a waste for you. It’s not a waste for others. And I wouldn’t have said what I did if I hadn’t found your comment to be so utterly ridiculous. |

As one who does not really fit well in this forum, I can tell you that I have learned that if you strongly state an opinion here, and it is counter to others differing opinions, you will hear about it. If this is not something that you can learn to enjoy, or at least tolerate, this forum may turn out to be a problem for you. It is by far the fiercest forum I log into. Which was quite a surprise to me for a forum dedicated to reading. Very few people cut anybody any slack here. So you gotta have thick skin to participate. I do not think this is due to any inherent maliciousness. I think it is because most people here are pretty damn intelligent. And with that usually comes solidity in one's beliefs, a willingness to state those beliefs, pretty decent debate abilities, and a lot of self confidence. Really, these are all good traits. But you don't want to step into the middle of them if you're a wiener. You seem to be doing quite well thus far ![]() |

I have to agree. I don't much care what your opinion is, you are entitled to it just as everyone else is entitled to their opinion. OTOH, it is your opinion and unless you came down from a mountain with that opinion engraved on a stone tablet, that is all it is.

Actually, I think that this forum has the most virulent opinions of any forum.
Which is all cool. One should offer their opinions to others but expect no resonance. OTOH people who like devices with buttons are JUST WRONG! ![]() |

Well men, just said what MY OPINION IS, but besides being MINE, I think there are good points sustaining it. But what can I argue against comments like this?:

In a last attempt to make me understand, I am going to compare what IT IS FOR ME to read a book than listening to an audiobook: it's like watching a good movie, compared to watch a Marvel movie. Quote:
Well, now that I come to say my opinion, and punched the nest again with a stick with the Marvel movie fact, I can go peacefully. See you |
