Anyway - my favorite purchase is a Kindle. Im actually frugal and struggle with the concept of paying for digital items. So, I’d like to read ebooks, but again I can’t stomach paying for something I don’t own.
I check out books on Libby, and there’s a send to Kindle function. This is pretty dang amazing.
Most books I’m interested in are immediately available, or there’s a couple week wait at most.
I’ve gone from reading a couple books a year to now reading a few books each month.
I’ll tell you what I love about the Kindle. Turn on dark mode, and the thing is super easy to hold and read, even when you’re laying down. As a matter of fact, I always fall asleep reading. Now the books I read are all checked out and have to be returned. I don’t want to lose the notes or highlights I create in these books, so I just use the export functionality and send everything to myself over e-mail.
And I have folders set up on an old MacBook where I have my notes and highlights clean organized by genre and book title.
But last year, rather than the sandal version, I got the closed toe, leather slipper versions. And I wear them everywhere. To the point where the sole wore out in 9 months, but I had a cobbler replace it.
My only gripe with the sandals is that rocks, twigs, etc come in from the front. It still happened, but far less commonly with the closed toe.
