I was so anti with e-readers for the longest time. I had a Nook as a teenager and it was clunky, heavy, and locked into the B&N marketplace. I also hated the idea of not having a physical book. That has all changed with my Kobo Libra 2. The highlights for me, in short:
1) Slim + lightweight. I can fit this baby in basically any bag, including a tiny shoulder bag
2) Holds THOUSANDS of books....literally thousands. Also audiobooks!
3) I can purchase books directly from kobo, but you can also buy them from any other retail chain (not amazon tho, their file structure is different). As long as its an ePub your Kobo can read it...even if its not from reputable businesses 😉
4)BIG SAVINGS!! 💰Stuff goes on sale all the time, I have price alerts set thru a website and gets tons of books for cheap. Kobo will match prices of other retailers and give you store credit for the difference.
5) Battery lasts for a week or more, without needing a charge
6)Links to your overdrive if you want to check out books from your local library!
7) Space saver. I take my kobo with me on every vacation, in my commute etc. Where I go, she goes.
I still love, use, and travel with physical books. So, to those who, like me, were afraid of not having real paper in front of them, trust, you will adjust. The e-ink screen is actually of great quality. And I still have a huge library of paper books at home! Rumors are swirling that the Libra 3 is dropping in Spring! Get into it!

😃i used to be against e-readers until i got one - best decision ever!! i finished 3 books in a week when before i struggled to read 3 in a whole year
something about the ease of being able to carry it around and the built-in dictionary makes it so easy to zip through books
i got a kobo libra 2 just because i like the aesthetics of it more than a kindle

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
