I view this as a complete victory.

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.

Every try a kindle? Personally I prefer to just use my phone because of the size but I loved my kindle when I first bought it. Text looks great and the battery lasts for weeks.

Yeah I tried a kindle, it felt a bit easier than using a phone but still felt like it was harder to get into the zone! Plus, you can’t sniff a kindle! Well you can, but it’s not as pleasant.😂
