Hah I've never heard of someone being a seasonal reader, I like your reason for it!

Your back doesn't hurt in bed after a while?

Forgot to mention that carrying my ereader around constantly means that idle moments in public end up getting used to advance in the book I'm reading, instead of purposelessly checking my phone or using social media. I think I read a post on here in another thread where someone else has had the same experience.

Reddit is not the community to try something like that with.

What happened to the first one?

Nice, yeah I hear Kobo is a pretty great alternative to Amazon and seems to be popular nowadays. If my Kindle broke it's probably the first brand I'd check out.

What are overdrive books?

Thanks for the comprehensive overview. Yeah color in my ereader is not very personally enticing and I don't care for an app store, I actually keep my Kindle in airplane mode 24/7 haha.

The water resistance and flush screen sound great though, but nothing I'm rushing to the store for. Think I'll look for that when my paperwhite dies out which is probably going to be a long time from now unless I damage it.

What kind of work do you do on it?

Interesting, I live in the Bay Area and had never heard of this.

I buy my books from either ebooks or Amazon, then load them on my kindle which I carry everywhere. It's an old paper white that usually fits into the pocket of whatever jacket I'm wearing.

I like physical books too but I really don't have the space to be stacking up. I also read a lot in public and don't like for people to always know what I'm reading lol. Nothing sketch, I'm just a private person.
