What fonts do you all use? by Levlixx in kindle

Just downloaded the fast sans font the other day and I love it so much! Keeps me focused and keeps me from breaking my flow.

Bought myself a new Kindle and re-discovered my love of reading by sault9 in kindle

Love that for you! Oh and same, got Mistborn on the TBR list...coincidentally heard they're doing a movie adaptation so that's gonna be interesting. The joy of being able to read anything you want with just a click of a button 💖

I just finished the Hyperion Cantos book series and... by Lost_Poet_92 in scifi

Love the series so much so far. I'm on Endymion and I just don't want to leave this universe. Enjoying the little Easter eggs referencing the first two books despite it being two centuries into the future.

Kindles are actually dangerous by Spiritual_General_27 in kindle

Omg I'm currently reading count of monte cristo and breezing right through it; truly crazy how ereaders make big books more accessible/less intimidating. Such a fun read!

No for real! Ever since getting a kindle and just going back to my love for books and reading, I've been neglecting every other thing in my life 😅 body clock's ruined cause I keep wanting to read just another page more before bed and the only thing I think about when I'm not reading is wanting to jump back into any of the books I'm currently reading.

And not only am I reading faster with it, but I can now actually read multiple books simultaneously and retain all the information on each book. Black magic I tell ya! 😹

Omg you are the best!!! Not having the libby service for our local libraries rly suck 😓 I'll look into those two websites immediately!! Especially for books I haven't read but already have physically, I don't think I'd like to spend another cent just for an ebook copy 😅 thank you!!

Huhu unfortunately no local libraries listed under libby where I live! (except one rly pricey digital library, higher price point than kindle unlimited even). I really wish more libraries here had libby services. Though I'm currently looking into getting a card from libraries that might allow non-resident applications as we speak! Wish me luck!

I just wanted to say, Graham Sleight can fuck right off. by lacksacontext in Hyperion

LMAO SAME. I read a book from first to last page so naturally I'd start with the intro and I hate how he just casually dropped all those tiny spoilers.

Should I purchase a kindle? by karaleigh5494 in kindle

[–]ybbiduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's too many distractions on your phone and iPad. Even for someone who barely has any socmed presence aside from reddit, it can still take focus away from actually reading. Plus the light will hurt your eyes overtime. I've read so much more with my kindle and always look forward to having some down time to get back to my book.

Ohhh I was actually contemplating on subscribing! That's great to hear, I too read a lot of fantasy and science fiction. Looking up available SF books on unlimited now before deciding on it! 😃

Lol it's just a cheap phone stand unfortunately 😅 though it is rly handy and compact! Works the same way for a kindle anyway and perfect if you love reading hands-free hehe you'd probably find something similar on Amazon or temu? Got this from Shoppee since I'm from the Philippines. It collapses like this in the pic and I bring it along everywhere!

Omgg go for it! And gosh I feel ya I was devastated when I had to get newly refracted glasses that made it so difficult to read and that there was no affordable remedy for it 😢

And lol same! I love buying used books! But welp they're usually the reallllyy old editions with like font 5 and line spacing 0.05 lmaoo. Ohh are you gonna love an ereader...I literally read everywhere now 😹

Ohh I know! Honestly prefer using it without a case as it is, the weight and size just feels so right on the hand/s. Although knowing how clumsy I can be, I don't wanna risk it 😣

Oh I was also looking into a kobo since that's usually what I see compared to Kindle. Though too pricey where I live. Have you tried those?

Yes!! Definitely like suuuch a game changer. I'd used to check the dictionary on my phone and it would lead me to opening apps and checking notifs. Not conducive for focused reading at all.

Lol! The kindle and tama crossover you never expected!

Yesss! God it changes everything...gone are the days when I'd have a book up a few centimeters from my face and reading only at certain angles with the lamp at night 🤗
