of course the story is the most important part of reading but another big part for me is getting a screen out of my face, which is why I don’t think I’ll ever read on my phone or anything like that

@SPOOKBUG I still have mine from when I got it as a gift in high school back when I did read regularly enough lol, but now I mostly read physical books from the library if I’m reading at all (working on doing that more). Just as far as screens go, I feel like they defeat one of my purposes for reading, but kindles don’t count because they’re not like ā€œscreen screensā€ if that makes sense lol

An indestructible device and my favorite piece of tech. I only read on this and it has increased my reading so much. I banished my phone from my bedroom and read before bed and when I wake up. You can borrow e-books from Libby and send it to your Kindle or f/w Kindle Unlimited. On the 11th gen you can change the warmth of the screen light so you're not looking at blue light before bed. Love this damn thing.

The only way I’ll read. Sorry for killing print media but all acclaim for my work has been published digitally so I’m going to be biased! It’s just so convenient and easy. I love to read in the dark before I sleep and you just can't do that with paper! Pulling one of these out in public is definitely crazy and you do lose the slinky exhibitionism that comes from a whole subway car knowing what hardcover title you’re pouring over, but I really think the pros outweigh the cons. Invest in an e-reader and be one with the future.

Paired with Libby for library books, vital part of a ā€œwind-down with fiction before sleepā€ bedtime routine (PS: if you buy the kids edition they remove the ads for free, but it’s the same device)

I got him at a particularly difficult point in my life and I’ve had him for 6.5 years now wow!!! He’s always been big, just much larger dimensions than a normal cat as well as being a little chubby lol. He’s a sweetie pie and is finally coming around to his little sister šŸ’›
