    While on an fairphone where a “normal” user can change various parts himself it makes sense, how does this workout on a pixel or any other “not for selfrepair” built device?

    A screen module of the fairphone is 70€, so you drop it and change the screen yourself. Continuing to use it.

    More than 4/5 years updates with batteries dying due to fast/ultra charged cycles doesn’t make sense in my point of view.

    They will for sure require original parts installed in the manufacturer repair shop.

    I am not familiar with the Apt series but CoT was the first book I read from this author and was blown away.

    Although the first part started slow and monologues still happen frequently but the idea and the plot pulled me forward. While I didn’t felt he recapped much.

    My other suggestion, Peter F. Hamilton is the totally oposite direction when it comes to jumping between places / characters. Sometimes between paragraphs and not at chapters end or page ends.

    Still after one sentence you know exactly where you are in the plot. Even when his books throw different characters at you like popcorn.

    If you have a lot of time and an urge to read:

    • Peter F. Hamilton - void trilogy - space opera
    • Brandon Sanderson - the stormlight archives - epic fantasy
    • Adrian Tchaikovsky - children of time series - sci-fi

    Check if you can get your hands on an ebook reader, if you don’t have already. The reading experience from the eye view side is similar to reading books and in addition you can increase the font size. It is superior to reading on a screen.
