So this is my latest podcast episode. These are my thoughts on Ereadersereader apps, apps. I have to say a special thank you to Xiaomi because several years ago, I don't know if Shema remembers, but he introduced me to Ereaders and the Kindle, and he wanted me to try it and I fell in love. And now I'm obviously going in a different direction. I mean, I still use Kindle

You've given me a whole new thing to research and now I wonder if I've been led. Astray with the paper white also had no idea that Simon and Shooster had their own e reader. I think this is why the Kindle end up being so popular because there are so many different potential Ereaders and apps you could use
One thing that I've noticed why I prefer the traditional book to any reader is that I somehow tend to skim through pages when I'm on my Kindle. I don't know. What is it? I just pay less attention to what I'm reading when it is in digital media. It could just be me. I don't know why, and I don't have a reason for this. It could totally be me. But when it is a book, I somehow slow down

Okay, so, Rachel, thank you so much for your comments. Kobo, is it Kobo Kubo? I think it's a Kubo. Is the actual ereader. Like I said, I have no experience with it, but if you look it up, it's highly rated. It's like, rated better than a Kindle. So yeah, a Kubo

Hey, bookish podcast. Thank you very much for that mention. And yes, I do have a vague recollection of us discussing ereaders and the benefits, and I'm really glad that you did decided to adopt them and looks like you've gotten so deep into it and done all your research much more than I could ever have. So nameless general, I do hear what you have to say
Hello everyone. First of all, thank you so much for the podcast and for all of your wonderful insights on this. I had lost touch with reading in the past few years and in this is quarantine. I've been trying to get back to reading, but due to the current situations, I am not able to visit a bookstore and buy books as well as not being able to get books delivered to me. So this is when I started trying out ebooks and ebook readers

I mean, located, because in America, you can get free ebooks and audiobooks from the library. So I'm a huge, huge, huge library person. And on that note, I'm going to go to Xiaomi because Xiaomi, I think you misunderstood me. I do not have Audible, but I listen to audiobooks because I use the library app quite a bit. And in the library app, you download this audiobook and it just plays it

I would choose the Audible versions any day, right? I'd love how Jim Dale narrates it to me. And likewise, it looks like that Trevor Noah's born a crime, right? There is no other way you would want to consume that material him narrating it acting out every character that is gold. And sometimes it doesn't need to be something dramatic. I mean, like even regular subject matter experts sort of books. Recently I was reading a book on UBI and the author
