I have something like 4000 physical movies/shows on disc. A lot of those have digital copies. I will tell you that they’ve absolutely pulled dozens of digital copies from my library. It’s in the fine print. You don’t own digital movies even if you bought them. They don’t tell you they did it they’re just gone one day. If you can figure out what they removed and complain they might give you $5-10 for the inconvenience.
Other topic. When I was able to take the train downtown for work I read so many books on an e-Ink display. I couldn’t do it on a glossy screen but the ‘similar to paper’ of an e-Ink was great. My train was always busy so I stood a lot holding onto the ceiling loop or rail. Dealing with an actual book when you really only have one hand is cumbersome. The digital readers are great for these situations.







The distance to the train station was never really my problem. Both my mother and sister also commuted to a train station for decades.
I took the train downtown for like 4ish years. During non-peak times it was slower. During the peak of rush hour it was a bit faster, usually. Regardless I enjoyed the time I could spend reading or doing whatever. My work moved locations to a place south of the city. Public transit is still technically an option. The physical distance and thus the drive time didn’t really change from my house just different directions of travel. It’s now about 4x the travel time via public transit…oof. Back to driving to work. I do miss the dedicated free time. I use to read like a book a week on the train.
