So many ways to read!




I really love my Kindle paperwhite.


For many years I've read through ebooks only to really dislike the experience. Nothing comes close to having a real book in your hands if you ask me.


I know you didn't ask me, but I'm going to tell you anyway! Hear me out on this one.


I have come to have a new appreciation for the e-word! I bought this Kindle for myself as a birthday gift and surprisingly I have really enjoyed using it. This is a new model that allows me to listen to audiobooks too.


One of the great things about this kindle is that I can download books from my local library and when I'm done, the books disappear. So no unwanted books are taking up valuable space.


Speaking of space, this little device is so compact, yet easy to read. It fits in my purse so that I always have something to do when I'm out and bored, AND, it's waterproof so whenever the world opens back up (to me) I can take it on vacation near the water.


This post is not sponsored by Amazon or Kindle. I just really like using this device. As I stated earlier, I still love hard and paperback books, but, full disclosure, I like books in all different formats. See my post here about The Good Earth which I enjoyed on audiobook.


If you're not quite ready to make the financial commitment to a kindle, check your local library to see if you can check one out. Many Chicagoland libraries offer the chance to check out a kindle and many come loaded with hundreds of books with the latest titles.


There are so many ways to enjoy books! Expand your experience and try ebooks. Let me know what you think!
