I unwrapped my very first Kindle more than a decade ago. Back then, I was a college student reading from the precarious comfort of my lofted dorm bed. I’m still reading myself to sleep, but in a decidedly more grounded bed and with far more Kindle know-how. These are the best Kindle tips I’ve picked up to elevate my nightly page-turning (or swiping) ritual.
