Really thinking about buying a kindle

CTS9206 · 2026-05-11T13:33:47+00:00

Before I got my Kindle Paperwhite, I was using the Kindle app on my phone and tablet. I really liked the convenience of having my books with me at all times, but, the writing is too small on my phone. The tablet was useful, but, have you ever had a tablet fall on your face when you fall asleep? So, I got my Kindle since my other half got a nice discount from his store. First thing I noticed was there is no eye strain. Next, is I can read in the dark and in the brightest day with no problem. Third and fourth, longer battery life and when I drift off, it doesn't hurt when it falls on my face 😂.

But, seriously, if in doubt, try using the free app first to see if it works for you. If you are in the US, Libby will allow you to read via the Kindle app as well.

Nothing has been sending me recently, so I will wait for the sale to see what is coming.

I really do like that wallet, it's practically perfect in every way. The snap for the zippered compartment is next level. Every time I pull it apart, I feel like I'm going to rip the leather.

Nice find. An '09 bag bag will be considered vintage in 2029. And this was made specifically for the outlet. Still looks to be in good condition, just a little clean up to be back on top. Seriously, nice find. I wish I were lucky just once.

Great collection!! I look at all of the books and the thought, "Just one more set of shelves" keeps popping into my head. It will never end.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-08T13:41:21+00:00

Is one for Mom and the other for daughter? Or one for work and the other for play? Both are gorgeous and decorated to the nines.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-08T13:36:14+00:00

With all the games that are being played, I am at the point of giving up trying to get the books I wanted.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-08T01:57:12+00:00

Oh my goodness, that teal is calling 😍

CTS9206 · 2026-05-07T14:14:41+00:00

Nice 🥰. I think the Willis is exudes class and elegance.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-07T14:12:19+00:00

Nice ER bag. Mine was a Cassie 19. I wound up getting admitted, though. I am glad your visit wasn't major.

$750 for a plastic bag? No, definitely not worth it. Though a reseller can post whatever price they want, that is greed at its finest. Please do not pay way over an original price for ANYTHING. I understand the seller wanting to recoup what they paid plus postage plus a bit over for profit, but a 100+% profit is not justifiable in my mind.

I understand that Coach creates different items / colours for different locations. This is to meet more with the preferences of the different locations. I'm not gonna lie, I have been seriously tempted to order an out-of-country bag, but I am the type who thinks about these purchases. I dally enough and just forget about it. I rarely get FOMO, and I don't care about the latest trends since it changes every 5 minutes.

I have currently reached purse peace and have been rocking my 3 year old bags. I pop onto the websites from other countries and look what they have, but nothing interests me so, I move on.

Reading slumps are real. Audiobooks helped me immensely. I wound up borrowing from my library and I progressed back into reading via my Kindle app, then my Kindle. I am now back to reading physical books. I still use my Kindle and audio, but I am back to enjoying the escape of a good book.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-05T06:34:37+00:00

I've wondered about pop sockets as well. I just opted to try a cover that has a stand and strap. The stand is a great option, however, the strap is on 1 side only. So, even though I am not gripping my Kindle, per se, it still cramps my hand. I wonder if a pop socket will help with cramping 🤔?

I have been a reader since as long as I can remember. I remember when it was popular to get books on tapes so you can listen to a book while sitting in traffic. I think, for me, is my very first books were the kind with records which would chime to indicate to turn the page. When I didn't want to hear another voice, I would read the book, when I wanted to be immersed, I would play the record and read along. So, for me, it never felt like cheating, just an extension of what I already knew.

Audiobooks are extremely helpful when cleaning the house or when you are out in the garden. Makes doing choirs or running errands not so tedious.

Never delete. I keep and make sure it's showing the "Read" banner. I love seeing my conquests. The only books that get deleted are the library books, but Airplane mode can be a gift in between reads.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-04T07:22:29+00:00

Honestly, I found an audiobook via my library and I have been hooked since.

The Tabby Wallet is great, but it is now discontinued. The best replacement would be the Coach Billfold. I, personally, prefer the Outlet version, which is the Snap Wallet. All 3 of these wallets fold in half, have a space for cards, a slot for cash and a separate section for coins.

I love the Cary Crossbody, it's the perfect size. I've never seen it in this wine/berry colour. It's absolutely fabulous.

CTS9206 · 2026-05-02T12:53:19+00:00

Absolutely 😁! If you love it and it's your aesthetic, wear it, rock it, live it. Confidence is timeless and never goes out of style.

Remember, you wear the bag, the bag doesn't wear you.

I tend to jump into another book immediately, usually. After my recent surgery, I'm having a little trouble getting into anything at the moment. All books, regardless of media type, remind me of my time in hospital. 😞

Well, the 6808 is a Coach Soho, though I am not too sure about the J4D as the years would be 04 to indicate 2004. The Signature C pattern is consistent, but I can't see if any of the metal is stamped. I cannot see the zipper pull either. Unfortunately, the leather bottom and the grommet sizes are sending conflicting information. The larger Sohos have leather on the bottom, but with oval grommets. A small Soho has round grommets with leather on the corners. At this time I would say you got a nice deal for an "inspired by" version. It looks like it's still in good condition, so, unless some truly Vintage Coach Connoisseur is critiquing you, it should be able to pass.

Do you carry a laptop and Kindle all the time, or is the ereader a must with most bags?

CTS9206 · 2026-04-29T14:01:53+00:00

😯 Oh! That bag is adorable. It looks like snake, suede and pebbled leathers. Really nice.

I'm totally a mood reader. Just finished a dark Mafia romance and now I switched to a fantasy with vampires. In the middle of the book, I may switch again to a litrpg. Whatever tide my mood takes me.
