Almost anywhere is a good spot for a good read. My first
choice is my cozy bed. I can read until my eyes get tired and doze off dreaming
about the characters in the story. I read anytime and anyplace I have to wait:
doctor’s office, dentist, DMV, etc. It
makes the wait seem shorter and keeps my brain alert. Reading is something I do
every day if I can.
While I do like a real hardbound book with real print when
I’m reading in bed, I hate carrying one around when I leave home. I don’t like the
small print in paperbacks either. I have adopted Kindle as my reading app and
love it! I carry a Kindle Fire in my briefcase on trips out of town. I can
adjust the brightness to fit nearly any surrounding and change the font size to
suit my eyes. For jaunts about town, I read from the Kindle app on my phone.
It’s so handy and has nearly all the features of my larger Kindle.
I do some proofing and beta-reads for other authors. I use
to do these on the computer, but now send the files to my Kindle. It’s so easy
to tap the screen and make a note to check later. That way I’m not stuck at the
computer and can proof anywhere. My only complaint is Kindle doesn’t have a
means to print the notes after I’ve finished. I have to either make the
corrections on the .doc copy or send a list of changes in an email. I have
talked to Amazon and suggested adding that feature to future apps, but they
aren’t quick to change something which obviously works well for most users.
Wherever you read, enjoy yourself. Reading changes lives,
opinions, outlooks and hearts. Be the change you want to see in the world.
