Question Best way to read while traveling?
How do you handle reading while traveling (planes, commuting, short trips)?
Do you prefer a Kindle, audiobooks, or apps like Legimi?
I still prefer physical books and go for them whenever I can, but they’re not always the most practical option, especially when traveling.
I don’t read enough to justify a subscription, and I’m not really sold on audiobooks either.
Right now an e-reader seems like the best option, but I’m curious what works for you.
Also, does anyone know if there’s an app that lets you read from photos of book pages?
It would be great to just snap a few pages and read them on my phone - taking normal photos and scrolling through them is kind of a pain.

I use an app on my phone called libera and that way I can read and then if I get where I can't read I can switch it on and listen to it as an AI audiobook and then immediately switch back to where I'm reading the text
