Whereas your way resembles to some extent the way I use to browse the web: hyperactive, almost frantic, hardly a moment to dwell on minor details.
I couldn't say which one is better, probably both - mine for me and yours for you  |
How is it "hyperactive" to be able to find a new book when you finish the one you're reading? I don't believe Froide does all of that
while he's reading a book...he uses those methods to find his next book (or return the one he just finished). It looks like he also switches from one device to another on a regular basis--maybe reading on a larger device at home and on his phone while out and about. Again...none of that seems "hyperactive" to me at all. I'm just curious--what do you do when you finish the book you're currently reading? Do you to a computer, then search the stores for your next book to read, then plug the reader in and put it onto the device? If so...then you did EXACTLY the same thing as froide, only he did it directly on his device, and you had to wait until you were at your computer to do it.
