Hi everyone!

 

With today being Shakespeare's day as well as a symbolic day for world literature, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to learn more about your reading habits and how much your phone or technology in general is involved in these. 

 

As I studied literature, I used to think physical books were the only legitimate way to read, and that reading on a screen could never compare. Commuting everyday with 1000+ pages novels in my handbag slowly made me reconsider my position : I now find that I read much more thanks to my kindle, and how convenient it is yahoo

 

The Kindle app on my iPhone is also great for a quick read inbetween other things! That being said, the smell of a fresh new book will always be something special, and I don't plan on completely stopping to extend my library anytime soon relieved

 

So what do you guys think, how do you go about getting through your novels and other books? Are you firm traditionals, a mix of both or do you prefer your books on a screen?

My son has added custom fonts using Calibre to his new Kindle. He did say it was easy and asked if I wanted some on mine and he would show me how to do it but I declined.

Thanks for the tip @jonsie, if I get a chance over the weekend I'll give this a go ... smiling  Did your son share any other tricks with you?

I have a newish Kindle Fire HD with a nice selection of fonts which has recently updated. So I'm happy but wouldn't say no to a few more. The bigger the choice the better. I might just use that link @jonsie so kindly provided.
