I'm glad I did take the leap. I have an iPad with the Kindle app, and I'll use it in a pinch, but I'm not a fan of reading on backlit screens, so I'm looking forward to a new kindle someday soon (hopefully not TOO soon!).

Since then, I've had a couple Kindles, but I replaced them with an iPad and the Kindle app, which are working great for me. I still read mostly paper books, but I like having the option of the e-reader, especially because that's the only way I can read ARCs from NetGalley and Edelweiss.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128976766882686453.post-32498768446883997582019-03-05T11:55:29.942-08:002019-03-05T11:55:29.942-08:00I can only do the e-ink; the backlit screens drive...I can only do the e-ink; the backlit screens drive me nuts and make my eyes tired after a while, but the e-readers are really nice for vacations and not having to drag seventeen books with you everywhere you go! And they're also fantastic for the winter, when you can keep your freezing cold hands under your sweatshirt and still turn pages- that alone sold me right there! I don't think I'd want to solely read things on an e-reader, but I love that it's an option. :) Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128976766882686453.post-88099712361551256152019-03-05T10:40:06.233-08:002019-03-05T10:40:06.233-08:00e-books sounds rather interesting...although I hav...e-books sounds rather interesting...although I have such an aversion to reading books on a screen. It's a mental thing. But this sounds pretty interesting, and I always enjoy an easy read to break up the books that take a little longer to burn through.Drew @ Man About Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147239310157205264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128976766882686453.post-91738690612429058142019-03-04T07:27:42.561-08:002019-03-04T07:27:42.561-08:00Oh my goodness, you sound SO much like me! :D Good...Oh my goodness, you sound SO much like me! :D Good for you for downloading the app, that's definitely a start! I also ended up downloading the app on my iPad AND I got out my super ancient nook (whose lower right turn-the-page button no longer works), because I have a library e-book I'm SO desperate to read coming soon that I want to make sure I have some way, ANY way to read it (and I'm not entirely sure the library has a kindle-acceptable version)! I WILL figure this out, even if I have to cry and swear while doing it.<br /><br />The e-book app is just SO tempting though. I keep going back and going, "Oooh, they have that, and this, and I want to read that, and..." And then I see my bookshelf across the room and go, "Dang it, I need to read THOSE..."Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128976766882686453.post-63753987628443898562019-03-03T16:25:06.582-08:002019-03-03T16:25:06.582-08:00This sounds like a great book!

I haven't been brave enough to try library e-books yet, although I finally downloaded the app the library uses. That's a start, right? My excuse to myself though is that I have so many unread books as it is. One of these days!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.com
