Hellobee Boards

I love my paper white. I thought my iPad (first gen) was too heavy and annoying for reading. But I love my kindle. But I also love not having books on a shelf, I hate clutter. I like having all my books at my fingertips.

I really like real books too. I have a tendency to read before bed, get sleepy, and the book falls out of hands when I doze off. However, ever since baby I've had insomnia so I like reading ebooks via iBooks app, blogs, connect on HB, online shopping, and writing in my journal app, all on my iPad. So convenient.

My DH wanted to get me an iPad forever. I always said if I got anything it would be a kindle (already have an iPhone and a laptop). Well DH got me an iPad mini last Christmas and I'm obsessed. I carry it around like a security blanket. mostly use it for internet stuff though, like hellobee-ing. During lo's newborn days it got a ton of use, like watching netflix while nursing or entertaining myself on the days he would only nap while being held.

I still love real books more though. I've bought a handful of eeze books and only actually finished one (a birthing book, while pregnant). Of course, with a six month old I also never read anymore!

I have a nook and I haven't used it since November 2012 when I was in the hospital having dd. I just don't have the time. It's sitting in the too of my closet collecting dust.

I have a kindle that I bought a couple years ago. I love reading Ebooks on it when I have time. The HB book club got me to read again recently.

As for ipad, I'm hoping to be pregnant this next year and so I'm planning on getting the new ipad mini with retina when it comes out at the end of Nov.

My old kindle doesn't browse as easily as the ipad. After I get my ipad, I would think my kindle would still be used to read.

I heard it's good to have something handy and small when nursing.

@Mae: Oh man, there's nothing I hate more than having movies on the shelf! Electronic copies all the way, please! Or no copies, lol. I almost never want to re-watch movies so having them around bugs me to no end. Books I'll eventually read again.

i have an ipad, which I love. but, i also loved it pre-baby. it was amazing for one handed surfing while I was nursing for hours on end in the early days! my sister recently bought an ipad mini, and i much prefer the size of that over my fullsized ipad

i also have a kindle touch, which i appreciate for the ease of carrying all your books everywhere, but i still find myself buying actual paperbacks instead. my kindle has been adopted by DH instead

I love, love, love reading on my kindle over my ipad. It really reduces eye strain and it is way lighter. And now the the library's selection has gotten better I can get ebooks for free.
