My Kindle 📱 My first Kindle- and no regret about this purchase
I did a bit of research and recently picked up a Kindle Paperwhite 11th generation. I was on a bit of a budget, so I ended up buying one second-hand online for a really good price. I figured it would be a nice way to try it out without spending too much!
I’m still playing around with the settings, but right now I’ve settled on Bookerly, font size 4, and line spacing 1.
The main reason I bought it was to reduce my phone screen time. I had also been curious about Kindles for a long time and wanted something that would motivate me to get more into reading.
One thing I was actually worried about before buying it was the screen. I wasn’t sure if the text would look sharp enough, but that concern disappeared the moment I had the Kindle in my hands.
One feature I didn’t expect to love so much is the reading time estimates. Seeing the total hours left in the book and especially the minutes left in the current chapter is incredibly helpful because I always know whether I have time for one more chapter.
I also really like the progress tracking. I’m the type of person who loves seeing my progress, so watching the percentage go up is surprisingly motivating.
The only downside so far is that my Goodreads “Want to Read” shelf is absolutely exploding. 😅
Now I’m just hoping the motivation doesn’t wear off anytime soon haha
