As I sit down to write this column, I’m looking forward to my book club meeting tonight.
I love books. While as a group, we may only read four to five books a year, I read about 40. This year, I am on track to read 50.
Ten years ago, I purchased an e-reader, in my case, a Kindle. An e-reader (short for electronic reader) is a portable digital device designed specifically for reading electronic books (eBooks) and other written content such as newspapers and magazines.
Purchasing in 2015, I was somewhat behind the times, as e-reader sales had taken off in 2010 and started to decline by the time of my purchase as tablets and smartphones gained popularity. However, today, e-readers, like my Kindle Paperwhite, have a loyal following, especially among seniors. There are many reasons for e-readers’ popularity.
