Wasn’t that how early map makers did it? They put a random town that didn’t exist on the map. If another map company came out with the same fake town, they knew they stole the map.

I’ve always loved it he idea of books. But was a bad reader. I just rarely did it. Couldn’t be bothered. Too lazy. Too much effort.

Just 56 days ago, I discovered reading on my phone. I’ve read 5 books in 56 days. For the exact reason you mention. So easy to just read a little anywhere anytime. Compare that with about 1 per year before that.

Plus, I love the goals in iPhone book app. Like daily streak, and book goal for the year (which I’ve already succeeded and increased like 4 times). Feels good to achieve a goal.

I still like the idea of pretty books. I’ll keep buying them. I’ll just put them on my shelf, then download the ebook and read that instead. Haha.
