But... But it'll damage the the page. 🥺

You can laminate leafs if you really want to keep having that fall theme going

Me whenever lose my bookmark thinking it's the worst thing to happen to me, my book is ruined, and then I find my exact spot in 6.4 seconds.

[grrgyle@slrpnk.net]

I do this. I also have a kind of system to mark where on the page I'm at, depending on which way the receipt is facing / oriented.

3d alignment chart would actually solve as many problems as it causes. I'm into it

[kolanaki@yiffit.net]

I'm lawful good if I have a bookmark. I'm chaotic evil if I don't.

[postmortal_pop@lemmy.world]

Ebooks for my dyslexia, when you're so chaotic you circle back around to lawful.

[etherwhack@lemmy.world]

I'm not sure who would stop reading in the middle of a page/paragraph (neutral good), but if I were to do that, I'd have re-read the whole page.

[p4ulin_kbana@lemmy.eco.br]

Not really worth it, in my opinion.

[usernamefactory@lemmy.ca]

Lawful evil. If I'm just reading through a book and can't remember where I left off, it's probably not a book worth coming back to. Bookmarks are exclusively for passages I want to come back to after I've finished the book - in those cases it's usually just a scrap of paper.

Chaotic good. I have bookmarks, I just forget to use them.

I have a very old book (published in 1794) that has leaves, spiders, some writing, as well as fire and water damage. Not worth anything in the condition it's in, but it's mine and I love it. I've always wanted to know why there were spiders in it, but I'm thankful it's not bound in human leather.

Save for a few I bought second hand, and the first book I ever owned (I managed to have it signed by the author 20 years later) the rest of my books look like they are fresh off a bookstore shelf.

I fold dog ears everywhere, in variable sizes. The bigger the dog ear, the more important the passage.

[hadriscus@lemm.ee]

You're right, plant material is going to decompose if there is any trace of humidity in the air and there goes your page...
I just stick a thin slice of smoked ham in there

[hadriscus@lemm.ee]

oh, my. Now that's hardcore reading

[currycourier@lemmy.world]

Interesting, was it always that way for you? I feel like for me with books printed on paper I'm actually a lot less picky but for e-readers (or any text on a screen really) the kerning, text size, etc. matters a lot more. The impact is definitely more pronounced for regular screens than e-ink though. Text size I find has the biggest impact on readability on screens for me in general.

Chaotic Evil would be ripping out every page you've read.

[sybilvane@lemmy.ca]

I do this. Sometimes I read in really short bursts, like for the length of an elevator ride. I don't mark it though, I just remember where I left off. I do this so much it's become easy to just get right back into the story even mid paragraph.

[septimaeus@infosec.pub]

Ok Screwtape

[kitathalla@lemy.lol]

Ugh, I feel unrepresented. I sort of remember where I was, read a bit to see if I recognize it, and then skip a little forward or backwards depending. I have definitely skipped entire chapters before because the style/sentences sounded like what I remember.

[corno@lemm.ee]

Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file
