[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9535912, member: 7038056"] This is the reason if I am going to read an entire book, I buy the physical release and only use PDFs for during play to quickly search for a term. I'll sometimes buy a PDF to skim to see if the book interests me enough to buy the physical release, but I try my best to not read books for any length of time on my iPad. Pre-pandemic I worked in an office and while my job is very technical, so I spent a lot of my day in meetings where I would leave my laptop at my desk and take a notebook and pen into the meeting to take notes. My eyesight was still great, having had PRK done about 15 years ago. My job shifted to remote during the pandemic, my employer closed a lot of our physical office locations to cut costs, and now I spend all day staring at a screen attending those same meetings. My gaming group also has remained remote, so more screen time both running and prepping games. And I'm 45, so there's likely some presbyopia factored in as [USER=18]@Ruin Explorer[/USER] pointed out so my eyesight isn't what it was a few years ago and reading glasses are a thing again. There's definitely some books I've tried to read in the last few years that I just can't because of the print. AD&D 1e DMG, I'm looking at you. [/QUOTE]
