A New E-Reader
When I got back into reading, I fell in love with ebooks and getting free copies from the library that I would read on my Libby app. That year, for my birthday, I was gifted a Kindle from two different people, and I've never looked back. Whether they're a new reader looking for a better or one who's complaining about how heavy their books are, an e-reader makes for a great solution (and you can still get those free library books on it!).
E-Reader Accessories
From cute cases to handy straps that make reading easier, there's no lack of fun options to add to a Kindle or other e-readers.
