Fuck DRM. I will never buy another eBook again. Just accidentally authorised my laptop without an Adobe account for Adobe Digital Editions, forgetting that i wouldnt be able to upload it to my eReader.

I erased my authorisation thinking I could just sign in with my shitty adobe account, and now its locked me out of my book entirely.

I'm pirating every single book I read from now on, and I'll buy a physical fucking copy from a local book store as compensation. FUCK.

Comparing Austen & Ibsen: Women & Finance in 19th-Century Literature

"While Jane Austen’s romance often distracts us from her heroines’ realities, Henrik Ibsen stares financial oppression dead in the face and offers his heroines hope."

Indeed. I get very frustrated at people who say that ebooks don't count as reading, or audiobooks don't count as reading. That's like saying that only hardcover books count, and even paperbacks don't.

I mean, if you read your books on a literal stone or wax tablet, or a scroll in a vermilion case, it all counts. Reading is reading! <3 @bookstodon
