Ooooooo yesss! I have string lights in my room too. We have similar interior design skills, I see. Gotta set the mood when you read. 8-)

True, eBooks have the advantange of being read anytime and anywhere, although I prefer the hard copy version still.
People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

Yep, and you don't need to choose what book you will take with you in vacation, you know.

Yes, I agree provided you have a technology that supports backlight feature. Like kindle paperwhite. Else you can also use a small led light flip which you can use on top of the reader to read in dark.

Does anyone else do this or would you try it?
Nice one!!
I'd not actually thought of doing that, but now I'll definitely give it a try - in a safe area though!

I also like that you can take all your books with you on a trip using very little space. I remember back in the day taking books on vacation and having my luggage almost be overweight because of my reading habit.

Convenience is the fact behind reading E books as if I feel like reading or starting something now I don't need to visit a book store or wait for a delivery.
As and when I feel like starting I just download it and start reading.
It's time saving and time utilizing as well.

Yes, it's interesting. Reading from a hardcopy or a softcopy both has its own charms. E-books are better in that sense that you can read them when you're outdoor or away from your library.

Yeah I'll try it tonight. Because I only read e-books when my book collection is not in my approach.
