I did try a kindle for a while, didn't really get on with it. Prefer an actual physical book.

Add to that you can buy second hand books on eBay for a few quid compared to the crazy prices Amazon want on kindle, it's a no brainer.

780 books in my kindle account, don't think I've ever paid more than £1.99 for one, usually 99p via daily or monthly deals, kindle is a clear winner for me, can't imagine having the space to store that many physical books, having a self lit book that I can adjust the font on wins every time. The only thing I want to see added is a clicky page turner that I can hold instead of having to touch the kindle to turn pages, would be perfection then :)

Yeah, I've realised this would be quite nice too. If I upgrade at some point, slightly bigger screen and button for page turns would be good.

Finally taken your advice on this :) How long until you see some difference?

It's tricky as you don't get that immediate dopamine hit. I probably took a step back and realised a few weeks down the line. The rain helped lift the crud and wash it away so at least a few rainy days required to!

My wife has this which was a revelation, especially when sunbathing. This combined with one of those long extender clip holder things so she doesn't need to hold the book is a dream combination, although i agree something built in would be better.

My friend got one of those just so she doesn't have to take her hands out the covers when she reads in bed.

I found that pressure washing didn't remove the ingrained mould / algae, only the dirt and moss. So hopefully this will eventually help the old bit look more like the new :)

Kindle is certainly the way to go if you want to save space.

Kindle ftw. I don't pay much for my books. Having moved countries a few tines, it's great to not have tonnes of books to move around. I also like to travel light so having a library of books on one little device is a huge win.

That said, I'll never get rid of my CD and vinyl collection. I don't have the same emotional attachment to books as I do to music!

Getting rid of my CD collection was one of the toughest things i've ever done ahead of relocating. There was a lot of crap, but i do wish i'd kept a select few rather than get rid of them all :(

I'll never get rid of my CD/DVD/Blu-ray collection. There are so many things that just are not on streaming services (mainly talking about DVDs and Blu-rays here).
