Reading

Man, after years of NOT reading .. I've picked it up again. On my iPhone. Man, I love it.

Firstly, it means I can read anytime, anywhere. AND I don't accumulate the clutter of actual physical books. That in itself is wonderful. I have my books with me all the time. And yet, I'm not physically carrying them with me. It's awesome.

Of course, the local iBooks store is USELESS. I purchase books using my US iTunes account off the US store. Love it. I've already read a couple of books. It's great cos I get to read while I'm nursing Charlotte in bed or when I'm waiting in the car.

And I've discovered it's easier to spend that money to buy a book if it's an e-book .. Damn. If you're at a bookstore in town, picking up and holding onto a book and walking around for a bit doesn't guarantee you're actually going to BUY the book. It's different when you're looking at it online .. It's just so easy to click "buy now" Hahahaha!

Actually, I thought it wasn't going to be nice reading a book via my iPhone. I thought it would not give me the same experience as actually holding onto a book and flipping the pages. But you know what? It isn't the same BUT seeing as how I'm so used to doing everything on either my iPad or iPhone, things like reading the papers or articles on a news website .. Reading an e-book is really no different.

If you haven't tried it, go on! I urge you to. You can try Kobo. They have a number of free ebooks .. Just download the app on your iPhone and give it a try. Thereafter, you can always buy books off the Kobo website too. I think they use Paypal. Pretty convenient too.

Have fun reading !!
