I love to read. I was browsing through the top apps on the apple App Store and found a free app called Libby. It lets me check out books from my local library - and it gave me a link to create a library card and check out ebooks. It’s actually pretty amazing, and I regret not knowing that checking out ebooks from your local library (at least in the US) is a thing.<p>Anyway - my favorite purchase is a Kindle. Im actually frugal and struggle with the concept of paying for digital items. So, I’d like to read ebooks, but again I can’t stomach paying for something I don’t own.<p>I check out books on Libby, and there’s a send to Kindle function. This is pretty dang amazing.<p>Most books I’m interested in are immediately available, or there’s a couple week wait at most.<p>I’ve gone from reading a couple books a year to now reading a few books each month.<p>I’ll tell you what I love about the Kindle. Turn on dark mode, and the thing is super easy to hold and read, even when you’re laying down. As a matter of fact, I always fall asleep reading. Now the books I read are all checked out and have to be returned. I don’t want to lose the notes or highlights I create in these books, so I just use the export functionality and send everything to myself over e-mail.<p>And I have folders set up on an old MacBook where I have my notes and highlights clean organized by genre and book title.
