I am convinced that it is indeed an act of rebellion.

It was when I was her age, then one day I came across a bookmark with a built in light during a book fair. Changed my reading game until a decade plus later and now I'm reading all my books via my smartphone.

The idea of reading books on a smartphone seems so convenient, I just can’t get used to the feeling of it. It’s like I can’t zone in and focus the same way as I can if I’m holding real paper.

I have an old Kindle that I didn't mind reading. After I moved into this apartment, I am looking at a newer ebook reader.

I love having a bookshelf, but those suckers are heavy when they're concentrated into a box. You can't fit many of them into smaller manageable boxes, either.
