in theory im very good at reading but in practice i cant read SHIT unless its in the perfect font with the perfect spacing so buying physical non-comic books is So difficult. why do online listings never put a picture of the page layout. i need to know how bad your paragraph spacing is. can i email my local bookstore and ask if they can take a pic of a page. is that allowed

#comics im mostly fine with (although ive realized i read some things like particularly manga easier than others)#(like if you tell me to read a superhero comic i'll die. mostly because of 'creative' font choices (whatever was going on in batman year 1))#(but comics with clear simple fonts and generous spacing between the text and the edges of the speech bubbles helps a lot)#(and a lot of translated manga is formatted that way so maybe thats why? just theorizing tho lol)#but with written novels im a MESS #i need large spacing around the text to the edge of the page (1.5-2cm in mass market paperbacks is okay but if a trade paperback doesnt have #at LEAST a inch or an inch and half around the text blocks i'll die irl)#i also need the font to be a good solid medium or smaller size so large print books are out for me #also the spacing between letters needs to be standard but the spacing between words and ESPECIALLY the spacing between paragraph breaks #needs to be a little bigger #USUALLY sans serif fonts are better for me but a good standard ass serif like times new roman works like as long as its clear and blocky #and the printing of the words needs to be CRISP like okay i wanted to read no longer human because of its influence #so i went to the store to check out the translated copies but then i was killed on impact when i saw how fuzzy and fucked up the text was #girl i cant read that. girl help.#AND LIKE the solution is obviously just reading more ebooks BUT I LIKE reading books physically 😔#easier to remember what books im reading and where i am in them that way jfklskfjdsa #sorry its just i love reading but my reading ability is mysterious and unpredictable HJKFLDSHJDKF #im trying to get a copy of phantom of the opera and im dying. not only are there 1000000 million translations. there is also...#100000 million different printings of the oldest public domain translation JFKLDSHJDKL:Ss #pray for me #luckily 99% of the books i read at least are from the library or borrowed from someone so i can check the font beforehand #but my library doesnt have everything RIP
