  1. You'll absolutely still feel sick with an e-reader. Bought one for myself/girlfriend a while back and she refuses to use it because of the above issue. She has the same problem with books and phones as well.

     

    Sorry buddy :(

     

    I feared as much, thanks for the...insight ;)

     

    Now I want to reread Dune but I can't find my copy!

  2. somewhat related question that doesn't need its own thread:

     

    I get nauseas when reading a book in a moving vehicle. This isn't too uncommon, I know plenty of people who share the same sad fate. I'd been toying with getting an e-reader but only if I am able to read it on the bus without feeling sick. I get the same nauseas feeling trying to read on my phone while moving as I do reading books, but I wonder if the e-ink technology on an e-reader would be different? Does anyone have any experience with this?

  3. Most of this kind of stuff was never pressed outside of the really big names (Blue Rodeo, Tragically Hip, etc).

     

    Cult-level stuff that was pressed usually is pretty rare and expensive to get a hold of (Sloan, Eric's Trip). Thrush Hermit LPs were never pressed but all or most of Joel's post-TH stuff is available on vinyl.

     

    I think some Big Sugar is available

     

    I'd love to see presses of Matthew Good's material, Big Wreck.

     

    All you really need is Anvil - Metal on Metal, though.

  4. If it is true a store is closing and you want to open one then you need to contact them and find out what they are doing with their shit. Often when a store closes they will sell off all their shelving, display fixtures, cash registers, etc, could be a good opportunity to get all the things you need to have a brick and mortar store.

     

    You need a point of sale system and other ways of managing your inventory, knowing what you have, what has sold, what you need to order more of when it sells out, this is all critically important. 

     

    You need distributor accounts where you can purchase stock for your store. This is as easy as contacting them and proving you are a real business.
