Welcome to Litsy!

Anyone working with BookTasters on Twitter? So far I've read and reviewed 1 book. I don't read on my phone but I made it a priority for a free book and I can choose out of a list of 9 when I complete a review on Goodreads.

1. Only if it‘s all I have with me.

2. I like reading on my iPad. I use the Bluefire app to read Advance copies from Edelweiss. I like it because it tells me next to each title how many days I have left to read it.

1) Only if I don‘t have a paper copy or my tablet with me.

2) my Samsung tablet, as I have access to the ebooks from my library but also those that I have purchased.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Kindle Paperwhite (10th generation) cover?

My current cover has not been allowing “sleeping” and is running my battery down constantly. 🙄

I‘ve heard it‘s best to buy an Amazon Kindle cover (my current one is not made by Amazon), but I‘ve noticed even those have some mixed reviews.

Any advice? TIA!

#bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo Since this is my vacation month…I had this on the ready for a while now!!! Nearly all are e-books other than my #sundaybuddyread and my #potteraday. Leaving 21-25 as free spaces. Needless to say I think this will be my best chance at actually getting a bingo! @TheAromaofBooks

Thanks for the tag @jenniferw88.

My Kindle cover is bright green with this owl sticker on it.

My favourite thing about eBooks is that they are easier to read than physical books: one handed, no fuss when turning the pages, can highlight easily, no bookmark needed. Perfect for falling asleep reading. 😁

Birthday gift from my mom was an e-reader 👌🏼 I finally decided on a Kobo Libra H20 since it‘s a) not Amazon and b) loads library books!

Hello Littens, especially you Kindle-Paperwhite users:

I keep doing “something” (assuming it is me?!) that resets the font to the tiniest smallest number. What am I doing? It seems like I do complicated steps to get it back to a readable font so ... I am stumped.

Any helpful guidance would be appreciated. And sympathy too. 😂👓🔎

Which one do you like better? After the pain of moving way too many boxes of books I‘m seriously considering getting an e-reader. I like the idea of a non-Amazon option but it seems like Amazon has better options and e-book sales??

I have a few questions for those of you Kindle owners who subscribe to Kindle Unlimited.

Do you feel that it‘s worth the price? Are you pleased with the amount/variety of ebooks offered? Do they offer more recent books, or are they mostly older ones?

I subscribed YEARS ago when the service was fairly new and wasn‘t impressed with the offerings. Thinking I might give it another try.

TIA...💕

As is right 😀

Wow. I wonder if this could mean cheaper ebooks in the future. I guess there was already a lawsuit against Apple that lead to cheaper ebooks until Amazon cut in.

For those that purchase ebooks and are looking for a way to support indie bookstores instead of Jeff Bezos, I discovered Hummingbird and their My Must Reads app today from my local indie‘s website! The app is available on from Apple and Google Play, and apparently you can also download it onto Kobo, Nook, and Kindle devices, but I put it on my iPad. Since my bank keeps freezing my credit card when I use Kobo, I‘m happy about this. 😊

I always have a tablet/ereader to #accompany me everywhere.

1. Somewhat... I read most books as ebooks from the library because it‘s convenient and free, but when it comes to actually buying books I usually only buy ebooks if it‘s a Kindle deal so the price is significantly marked down, otherwise I‘d rather buy the physical book and just get it used if I‘m on a budget.

I‘m a bit of a gadget freak and have had a variety of e-readers including Nook, Nook Glowlight, Kindle, Kindle Fire, and Kindle Paperwhite (which was my favorite). Meet my latest acquisition. It‘s not the newest Oasis ; it‘s the previous generation, but it‘s new to me. I‘m excited to see if I like it as much as the Paperwhite. Also, I think the case I got for it is so pretty. 😊

Littens could I get your opinions please?

Those who buy and read ebooks a lot which company do you buy from and why? (Amazon, B&N, Kobo, etc.)

I‘ve used Amazon Kindle for years and have quite an extensive library but am considering if I should make the switch to another provider. Thoughts?

Thanks! ☺️

I need some advice for a friend who wants to get an e reader for her textbooks (she‘s a university teacher). Vitalsource bookshelf is the programme she uses@on her computer and she wants something compatible. #ereader #textbooks #advice.

I read ebooks too but this story makes me sad. 😢https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/80694-pearson-kills-print-textbooks.html

This is all my books in the cloud. Just kidding. I have more than that! 😂

I'm sure you guys probably know about this, it's been around for a little bit. I still love it and like to share. If there's even just one person that doesn't know. It's a service called Bookbub. You can get an email filled with free & less than $5 ebooks every day! It helps me keep my little book dragon in books too. Link below! 💜 📚

Got some new ebooks to put on my NOOK! Super excited to have some new reads!!!!

I really love #netgalley and the possibilities you get there.... But it would be so wonderful, if you could also download the reading time, you need to read all the gorgeous books...

#somanybookssolittletime 😪😪😪

Amazon heard me beef about that I couldn't get free ebooks on World Book Day ... Tadaaa... Here is the German edition... 😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉 @TrishB

My old library (that I'm still signed up to) finally let you borrow ebooks! I'm so excited! 🙌🙌

Is anybody having this problem too?

I‘ve often wondered about the cost of ebooks for libraries. Interesting to learn that for one popular book, “after 26 checkouts, the ebook license expires and the library had to purchase another one.”

My three #pagesavers: a Nook tablet, a Kobo e-reader, and a Samsung Nook tablet.

 @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

So these are actually related. In previous years, I hardly ever read ebooks and I never borrowed books because I didn‘t have a library card or anyone to borrow from. This year, I got a library card and ended up using it to borrow a lot of ebooks because of the convenience. So my high ebook reading and high borrow rate this year are because of that. I still like physical books better, but ebooks have definitely grown on me.

So for some reason I'm not getting emails about the ebooks that are being gifted to me. CS at Amazon was no help, they said they didn't see anything in my que waiting to be downloaded and that they couldn't help me if I didn't know the titles of the books. I think the first step though is probably just to resend. So if you sent me a #kindlitsy book, would you please try resending it? Thank you!

I know many of you may already know how to do this but I found this little tip on Alison Weir's homepage whilst looking for something else on there.

Question for ebook library users.

How do you read your ebooks you get from the library?
Libby?
Kindle?
Overdrive?
2 of these options?
All of these options?
Other?

The new Kobo Forma will be released on Oct 16th. It looks a bit like Kindle Oasis. I'm so tempted to get it but the price is steep - CAD$299.99 😯 Do I really need another ereader??? Do you own more than one ereader?

I have maybe an e-book buying problem... 😊 Luckily some are reduced and some were for free... #kindledeals

1. Yes! Before ebooks, I would buy purses based solely on whether they could hold two books. 😆👜🤷🏻‍♀️
2. Yes, I do most of my reading from library books. It‘s also one of my favorite places to take my kids.
3. Yes. With young children, it‘s a lot safer (for the books) and more convenient (for me) to read on my phone. I still prefer physical copies though.
#tuesdaytidbits

📚 Yes, always! Especially when I'm outside. I'll make sure I have physical book and/or ebook downloaded in my phone.

📚 Yes, everyday! Physical and apps like Libby and Hoopla

📚 Yes! Usually I will have the same book on print and digital so I can read on my ereader at night 😉

Thank you @SilversReviews for today's #TuesdayTidbits! 👍😁

#SpotAReader when I was waiting for my car; had to take it in, the engine light had come on.

I finally broke down & bought my first e-reader. Still prefer physical books, but I can‘t deny the convenience when I travel. Plus, I can add the Overdrive, Hulu, & Netflix apps - that‘s a whole lot of portable entertainment.

The Kindle Fire is on sale right now ($59.99 for the HD 8 w/16GB or $39.99 for the 7 w/ 8GB). I got mine at Target, so I got an additional 5% off with my RedCard.

A year ago, my county‘s library system decided Overdrive was too confusing for patrons and switched exclusively to Cloud Library. I thought this was lame and have been using my Brooklyn Public Library out of state membership to supplement.

Next month, they are switching BACK to Overdrive!

This does wonders for my Kindle usage... but Mount TBR is further doomed 😬

1. A couple hundred, pending livery loan cleanup though 😛
2. The basic black cover that turns the screen on/off
3. Bedtime! And while eating, traveling, or stationary bike riding

So scribd is back to $9 a month for "unlimited" use of materials. The audio selection is ??. Want to try for two months? https://www.scribd.com/ga/4dob3y
I'm pretty excited about this!

⚀ Probably Ebooks now, used to be paperbacks

I also got this beautiful new case for my new kindle! I‘m all set 📖❤️

My new kindle came in today! My fire still works alright (most of the time) but I just had to have the Kindle Paperwhite for reading in the sun! Now nothing can stop me from reading anywhere anytime! #kindle

I treated myself to a new kindle fire because my other one is dying.

#treatyoself

I‘m admitting defeat. There is so much snow on the roads that I‘m snowed in. And this flu has knocked me on my butt. I‘m hanging out in bed, with all the ebooks and a bottle of NyQuil, until the kids get home from school.

Due to vision issues I have to majorly cut back on eBooks. They are making my eyes very tired. And it's a bit upsetting because many of the independent authors that I read are only in eBook format. But I look at it this way, it will give other people a chance to get what would have been my galleys. And the authors will get a whole new audience.
