I don't like reading on screens, but it is about all the time I have in the day. Not a lot of other options.

I'm a book lover who reads in multiple ways. Lately, I've been using my fire tablet a lot to read on. I sometimes use my phone. I also still faithfully read paper books too. I'm not really more loyal to one way over the other.

I read ebooks using the kindle app on my Samsung phone.
I also read books to our kids (and test our books) on my Surface Pro.
Then we have an iPad Pro to also test and read books.
So we have quite a few devices ;-)

I read a lot of e-books, it is convenient for me to have many books in a space-saving digital format. I had considered buying a Kindle reader, but it has been hard to find one in my city I don't know why.

Most people get Kindles either online from Amazon or from Best Buy. That's in the USA, at least. You didn't say where your city was.

I'm reading like three books :techie-reference:

I'm reading them in physical book form. I love my ebooks but every now and then, I need an actual book in my hand.

I'm reading more on my Kindle Paperwhite lately and today I remembered why I love it so much. It's brilliant when you're outside and it's sunny..No glare!

That sounds awesome! I sometimes get a flare with my tablet so I usually prefer physical books when I'm outside.

If you read a lot outside and are looking for an ereader I would definitely recommend one.

I'm always reading more than one book at a time. Currently, all but three of the books I'm reading are on my ereader.

I have a whole folder on my ipad for reading books! I use the kindle app for purchases I make through Amazon. I use Overdrive to download library e-books and audiobooks. I also use the Book Shout app - which tracks how many words I read in a day. Its really fun and motivating :) Right now I am reading Now I Know: The Revealing Stories Behind the World's Most Interesting Facts. It was a free e-book I downloaded using a free trial of Amazon Prime. :techie-studyingbrown: I still enjoy a good paperback too!
