Contrary to the post title, I would like to know who among us Pagebound readers have perfect eyesight. Consider this a survey. Who among us have won the lottery and have not eroded their vision with our passion for words, so gripping that we read on our backs in bed or in the dimness as evening falls?
I’d also like to hear from friends who have usual sight- or spectacle-related stories. I, for example, have near-sightedness but it’s SPECIAL. You see, one side is 3.25 and the other is… 8.75. This means one side of my glasses is thicc af and the other is okay. Some people do apparently notice this and comment on or ask about it.
Edit: Current observations - Most readers do have poor eyesight and those who don't have other issues or sight-/eye-related problems that nevertheless are disruptive despite having clear vision. It's not looking good for us.

“The 2 cops were a study in contrasts. One was a tall but wiry Asian man. He was all sharp angles and hard edges…”
We are starting really strong with a character description that sounds like it comes right out of fan fiction. The topic is so serious so why is some of the writing so corny right now 😭

Since there seem to be people from all over on here, I was wondering what languages you read in? Also what makes you chose the language of any specific book? Just availability or do you prefer a language over another?
I read mostly in German and English, some French here and there.

I mean, I chose the witch because I would love to be a witch, but I'm curious if that's the way other Boundlings choose across the board. (That said, I would jump at a dryad avatar.)
And for those of you who use the ghost or food/beverage ones... obviously this doesn't apply, right?👀

jadieblue is interested in reading...

I love adding books to the recommendations feature on book pages. But it seems like it's not used all that much. Many books have no reccs and there's not even many votes on books other people put there. I know other sites use auto-algorithm generated recommendations and like that pb goes a different way. Hopefully it will increase as more time passes and users join. I'd love to hear if people like this feature, why people don't add reccs (or upvote others), and how to get more reccs on the board?
