i am not someone who can pick up and read one book at a time, i am usually reading 3-4 at various paces. currently iām reading 1 nonfiction book, 1 fiction ebook, 1 poetry book, and iām actually also reading a graphic novel too!
having at least one ebook means i can read when i want to in public (ie transit) even if i donāt have a physical book on me and of any physical copies iām reading, at least one must be paperback so i can toss it in my bag
poetry books (and graphic novels but i read those less) are quicker reads for me so they help me if i get into a slump with the other books, and i have the freedom of choosing between fiction and nonfiction depending on the vibes of the day lol

keeps it funky, keeps it fresh! a book for outside, a book for downstairs, a book for bed, a book for the subway, a book for the bathtubā¦..

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

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
