5 Reasons Why e-Readers Have Transformed Our Reading Experience
When we first started reading for fun, we loved nothing more than curating our personal libraries. However, there are many practical reasons, financial and spatial, that reading physical books isn't the most ideal.
Since investing in our trusted e-readers, our lives have been dramatically changed for the better. If you're on the fence about buying one, continue reading to discover five reasons we couldn't part ways with ours.
It's Super Easy to Annotate
We're the kind of people who like to highlight our books. Sometimes, we want to easily identify (and revisit) the most meaningful lines in the book, or we worry that the line will be important in a sequel story. With an e-reader, we don't have to keep a highlighter and pen ready. Highlighting on a screen is as easy as dragging a finger. Plus, we couldn't draw a straight line to save our lives.

The Font Size Allows Us to Fly Through Books
Is it just us, or are book fonts getting smaller and smaller? We almost feel like we need cheaters to magnify the texts. The beauty of an e-reader is that you can adjust the font to accommodate our needs. You'd be surprised by how a small font can negatively impact your reading. Now, we fly through books within a few hours.

Nighttime Reading Is Now Possible
Sure, we could have ordered a nightlight for our books. That said, the lights can still be much brighter than we'd prefer, and we don't really want a light craning in our faces. Many e-readers have a backlit screen (not using LED) to give the right amount of shine without straining your eyes.

Our Hundreds of Books Take Up Less Space
Okay, we admit, having a library is totally fun. But it's super expensive, especially if you don't have the room for it. Now, we're at the point where our small bookcase can't hold anymore books. An e-reader, however, can hold many more novels than a physical shelf could.
We Love Personalizing Our e-Reader
If there's one thing we will always love, it's customization. We don't have time to decorate every book we own. But it's super simple to add character to an e-reader with fun pouches and stickers. It's also a perfect way to show off your fandom whenever you read.
