One reason I love ereaders is you can carry so many books with you everywhere you go ;) I have a device, but I just use the Kindle app on my tablet or phone most of the time. I love highlighting or making notes without defacing a physical book. I usually listen to audiobooks simultaneously. Pure joy.
Thank you for sharing! I didn't realize Kindle was an app... I thought it was a device that was a competitor to kobo. I'm not very techy at all lol... seriously, thanks again for sharing your experience!
Fawn 😊
what ariel mentions about her ereader is exactly why I love reading on my ipad now! being able to see how many minutes left in the chapter is soooooo motivating and I just read so much easier now!
I did the opposite of Ariel this weekend and actually picked up a hardcover book after exclusively reading ebooks for almost two years. It really made me appreciate my ereader! So much re-angling to avoid shadows on the page (bad lighting in my house) and so many more hand cramps than I remembered. I’ll always love physical books because they tie the memory of reading each book to a physical object- but in terms of the actual reading experience, I’m grateful for my ereader!
My joints are also betraying me due to a autoimmune disease and holding up a book is a workout lol. I got a book pillow that holds the book open and holds it up a bit and that has helped a lot. But the E-reader has been a life saver for my reading
Same here. I have multiple autoimmune diseases (a muscle disease, two connective tissue diseases, arthritis, neuropathy and others) as well as genetic connective tissue disorder. I use something called The BookSeat, and it has been so helpful.
Yes! My husband got me a kindle a couple christmases ago and now I actually achieve my goal of reading before bed!
OMG PICTO CHAT! I've been transported in time!
I just randomly found this Video because CZcams suggested it to me. Love it! A lovely wholesome conversation ❤ I need more book people in my life. Thank you!
Ariel's joy over the eReader is perfection, lol! Welcome to the club! Also really makes me want to get a kobo... My library uses cloudLibrary rather than Overdrive, so I would still have to do Raeleen's hassle and connect/download manually, but my Kindle won't accept ePubs at all and only being able to read ebooks on my phone is the WORST. I was thinking of just getting the Clara 2E but Ariel is really selling the Libra lolol....
Also there's the necessary push I need to finally finish the Carls duology lol 😆
Wait the energy in this podcast in immaculate. I love it.
Honestly yeah kindle changed my reading life. And audiobooks
On the top of struggling to hold up a book... I have chronic illness/disability/mobility issues as well. I use something called The BookSeat.
I also have EDS and I love my ereader. I can't really cope with hardbacks anymore. Getting an ereader massively increased how much I read! BTW, ereaders are actually frontlit, not backlit! It's like having little led torches on your page and is why it doesn't give you eye strain like a phone might.
Interesting! Thank you for clarifying how they are lit! 🙂
I love my e reader for travel. Don’t check the sale pages!!! Classics are usually almost free. I knit and crochet or walk the dog while listening to audiobooks- most from the library. 📚
Your chats are so fun! Glad I found your channel
oh my god i haven't listened/watched this yet but I'm so excited to have it on video format for some reason???
I'm also having my eReader renaissance. I use mine mostly in the same why in that I tend to use them to rent the books that I already have from the library so that it's easier to read on the go. Plus I feel like I also read more on the eReader somehow? I'm not sure why it seems to keep my attention span better than a physical book these days. There's also the added benefit that I can read before bed and not have to get up to turn off the light lol
I read pretty much exclusively on my Fire tablet. The only size Fire I bought/will buy is one that feels like the size of a book. I've tried reading on bigger and smaller screens and it's just not comfortable.
I have no plans to ever buy an ebook. All the books I read on my tablet are library owned via Libby (I preferred and still prefer the way Overdrive worked, but I guess I was in the minority). If I'm going to buy a book, I'd want to own the physical book so that I can share it with someone later because I rarely reread books.
I prefer reading on my tablet primarily because I like to read in bed and I don't need a lamp and can read on my side. And when I fall asleep, the ereader doesn't lose my page when it falls out of my hand.
Haha love the tale of getting the ereader. I have contemplated getting one but havent as yet
ok how did you do that?? I have a kindle and I can't figure out how to connect it with my library, Libby customer service said that we can't in Canada and I want to use the library so bad with it!!! share your knowledge please
I have the same one and I love it!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
Where is the Amazon affiliate code please
❣️
Library use is region specific on the kindle and only works in the USA. Kobo connects with Overdrive/Libby in Canada
Should I get an e-reader? 🤔
Can an ipad do the same? 🤔
I don't an ipad yet either... 🫤
