Do you have Kindle?

Do you prefer this or sometimes enjoy reading with a book in your hands and turning the pages instead of looking at a screen to scroll?
I have Kindle and it's choc full of cosy reads and this is mostly what I use Kindle for, while my bookshelves are full of classical, mysteries, horror, history, some children's literature from my childhood I still have, true crime. I don't think there is a genre that has gone untouched.

My Kindle I keep in my bag for easy reading and one cosy novel that seems to have become popular in the bookish community is Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. It didn't take me long to read but I did enjoy it. I can't say I read a lot of fantasy but this had a cosy atmosphere. lovable characters and a heart warming story about fresh starts. It encourages readers to do what makes us happy, even if it's radically different from anything we have ever known. To chase our dreams even when others do not believe in our vision.

No, wish I did. So you have a special Kindle tablet? And that's only for reading books right? I'm not really familiar with them.

@LadyGrace If you have any tablet, mine is Samsung - you can download kindle books from Amazon. I have Amazon Prime so some of the books are free to download or very little cost.
@Ceitidh 🤭 I'm embarrassed. I've done that before but for some reason couldn't find them back. 🤣🤣😂😂😂
@Ceitidh I, too, have a Samsung tablet. I do love the fact that they are free. Thought I would try it again sometime. Thanks for the tip

Kindle app on a tablet... Best of both worlds

Not a kindle…Although I prefer a real book, I do read on my iPad. I read a lot of books…the typical novel only takes me about 2-3 hours to read…..so buying them gets expensive. I also travel for work, and carrying around actual books gets cumbersome.
I have a kindle and i also have real books. I sometimes just prefer bringing just one book with me so I can focus.
We also have an audible account so if I am feeling lazy, i just listen to the audible version😅.
I prefer the Kindle because every book becomes the same physical size, the font is about the same and I can easily carry around an entire library in about magazine size/weight
I've not tried it yet.
Really got into audio books...given the narrator is well chosen.
Always loved reading, and I do miss the printed page though.

My aunt she lives in Tulsa and we usually go see her though the year. I usually talk my husband into stopping at the book store. I usually end up getting a few books and he all was looks at the comics. My tablet has a kindle and I use it a lot. My wife she would rather read a book then watch TV

I do because I get through a lot of books and it was costing me a fortune. I can get through 5/6 a month. So I now I borrow from the library for a monthly subscription and can read as many as I like and I don’t have to find space for them all.
I got an ereader (mine is a Kobo) because ebooks are a lot cheaper, and you can fit quite a lot of them into one ereader which saves a lot of space. I do still prefer the experience of reading a physical book.

I have a Kindle Fire. I have only purchased a handful of physical books since 2010, when I got my first iPad.
I use the Libby app on my iPad.

@OlderSometimesWiser I do as well, and also Cloud Library. Neither is great.
@eli1601 I actually love Libby. Have two entire library’s collections at my fingertips.
eli1601 · 70-79, M
@OlderSometimesWiser I don't find Libby user friendly. Overdrive, which preceded Libby was a lot easier to use to recommend books. Of course, the biggest thing is the actual library you borrow from. A big city or county library system will have many more books than a smaller one.

Books for the most part. I always enjoy reading a couple of pages before going to bed
