For "narrative" books, physical. Bought FSW as PDF at first, read 20-some pages and decided reading from display wasn't fun. So i bought a physical book once it was available.
Adobe Acrobat Reader offers the ability to change the colors used in a document, you can use one of 4 high contrast pre-sets or make your own selection. Unfortunately because CGL use background art you can't change the page color and they do something to the page text meaning that only every second page gets changed for some reason.

Not a matter of color. Doesn't matter if on phone or PC display either. I just find reading from screen... Boring? I don't know. Just wrong, either way.

I can understand that. Would prefer to keep all DTF, but just don't have the space to keep them. Plus PDFs are generally cheaper too.

One weird thing about reading PDFs or ebooks...I don't remember them as well as if reading DTF... :/

That too.
But i don't think it is weird. While holding a book, the physical action may help in forming memory.

Idem here. I usually remember better if i read it in DTF, and later use the pdfs to hunt for references when doing research.
Oh my brother, with your courage we can conquer,
In your sword I put my trust that you will honor
I will be the higher ground should you concede it
And my body be your shield if you should need it.

Clearly I woke up from my nap and fixed the router just in the nick of time.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

It's 4am and I ran upstairs to grab my money and throw it at the computer.... I might have a problem....

EDIT: Question: because it's 430 and I already want to scream questions to the computer: when can we start using spoiler tags to ask questions: immediately or is their a time period?
