Rookrooktallon@dragonscave.spaceSep 11, 2026, 6:39 PM@emily Is it just holding them in your hands that does it or are you actually looking at the words? Sorry, I'm being a literal person today.

@rooktallon I think both! I like sometimes while debugging to hold it in my hand and can flip back and forth in a way that with PDFs I just don't like.

@emily Oh, cool! I thought about getting a book just to hold in my hand for the pure satisfaction of it. Still, I'd rather read the book myself and I'd need Braille to make that happen for me. I often use either a Braille display or just read it using my screen reader but it doesn't quite feel the same as holding a book like I used to as a kid. If only large books didn't come in 4 or 5 volumes of Braille whereas a print book just needs one!

@ccarlson71 I used printMe1.com to do it, and got them in about a week. I checked out other places, and they seemed the cheapest I could find. Cheaper than Staples and such locally too
