If not, you might want to buy one. Or win an eReader, like I
did!
Last year, I won a Kindle Fire. I love it! I’m still learning about all the
things it can do, but mostly, I use it to read books. I have many books on my
eReader, and have read some of them. They are about various subjects such as writing,
business, health, home improvement, and money. I also have some novels and
children’s books.
I have apps on my Kindle. Newspapers, travel,
organizational, and shopping apps are mostly what are useful to me. I also purchased an app that helps me to
categorize my books. I find that is the easiest way to locate what I am looking
for. And the layout is attractive and organized.
An eReader can be used to access the internet, making it
convenient for on the go. You can check your email and read social media sites.
If you don’t want or need to carry around a laptop, an eReader may be what you
need.
You can buy digital books on all kinds of subjects. If you have a Kindle, you can get books from Amazon. If you have a Nook, you can get them from Barnes and Noble. There
are a number of websites where you can download free eBooks too. You can also
borrow them from your library. Some also offer classes on how to borrow books with your eReader. Be sure
to check out what your local library has to offer. You might be surprised.
Besides the Kindle and the Nook, there are other eReaders
such as the Kobo and the Sony Reader. I recommend researching eReaders to learn
which one is best for you.
I still buy, read and borrow regular books. I think I always
will. However, I have found the Kindle to be very convenient, easy, and fun to use.
I plan to write about technology in future blog posts, as I learn more
about my eReader and contemplate purchasing additional gadgets.
Do you have an eReader? How do you use it or would like to
use it? If you don’t have an eReader, do you plan to buy one?
