The ableism directed at readers who do not own physical copies or have collections on display brings the mistreatment of audiobook listeners to mind.

These are options that allow a wider range of people to find books that for whatever reason might not have been made available to them before.

And there's other factors. An ebook and a hardcopy give you the same story, but a hardcopy is a physical object. It sits on a shelf where readers browse through and see it. People see you reading it, they might ask about, or make a mental note. You can lend it. It's basically advertising.

What most people mean when they ask this question is: What nets authors the most royalties? It varies with our contracts, but in general it's audiobooks, by a huge margin. Ebooks after that. Physical copies give us the least, again by a huge margin. But that's still complicated-

Found a really clever Queer Book Challenge on @thestorygraph.com made by @duckprintspress.com mainly to discover queer books from user suggestions. There are so many books I had never heard of before in it!

You can’t read a dystopian book, root for the main character, and then support the oppressor in real life. That’s cognitive dissonance. #booksky

I am very late to actually reading romance despite first reporting on it like, a decade ago, and I am now deeply annoyed this genre has been denigrated and dismissed by so many people because its massive audience is primarily women

took a picture of my dog that looks like a New Yorker profile about her getting her life back on track after she was cancelled for calling basset hounds "lazy" and "unnecessary"

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Decided to skip ratings in my 2026 reads posts since these could be seen as recommendations.

I know that a bad rating will set a low expectation for a book whereas explaining why it might cater to a specific group of readers instead personally feels like a more positive approach.
