Same for me, reading is one of the only things I have going for me these days too! 😂 I’ll have to do this book meme as well! Keep ‘em coming, haha!

Like you said in your answer to the last question, I too like to keep my books in pristine condition! The only time I’ve written in a book it was in very light pencil and it was a college text book. I was able to erase my note and sell it back easily! Otherwise I never write in books or - gods forbid - highlight anything in them! 😱

I own a Kindle Paperwhite (the 1st version Amazon came out with) and I love it! It’s really convenient because you can change how bright or dark the screen is, as well as changing the typeface and font size for your Kindle - which is definitely helpful with eye-strain! Sadly color comics don’t work well on the Kindle but I have had a good experience with reading black & white manga (I recently read Tomie and Uzumaki by Junji Ito on my Kindle and had no problems with size or anything). I use my Kindle so much I have to charge it about once a week but it ( ... )

ya i think you're right. the paperwhite seems to be the best option for me. i'm having such a difficult time finding one that's used that isn't ad-supported. i remember having to help my s/o's dad setup a kindle fire for his parents and the ads are god-awful. it's $150 right now~ such a steep asking price for an e-reader @_@ if you know anyone willing to let go of their no-ad paperwhite, lemme know LOL

Yeah, sadly Kindles aren't cheap. :( I hope you can find an affordable one soon. If I see anything for sale I'll definitely let you know!

Amazon France stopped selling paper books during the first lockdown, so I installed the free Kindle app on my computer. I'm 99% sure that you can have a physical Kindle and the Kindle app on the computer and it synchronises where you are. I can see book covers in colour on the computer. I haven't tried buying e-comics because I don't understand how to zoom in on images (you can change the font size, but images are not text...). I know a friend does it on her tablet, but I have a laptop.

I do the amount of pages thing because chapter lengths are so random. Of course, the amount of pages varies from one book to another, so it's more of a 40/50-minute slot thing, like a TV episode.

ya i don't understand how to change the size of images either. it's like impossible to read the tiny text and see the pictures @_@ i hope the features change so that it's more accessible, but idk if they'd do that. it'd give people less reason to get their kindle ereaders 😩
