What Is the Best Way to Read Books?
There's no wrong way to read.
Before video games, movies, and TV, there was, well, books. Reading is one of the oldest pastimes, and while a lot has changed between Homer’s The Iliad and Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass, the enjoyment of reading has stuck with us through it all.
Nowadays, massive bookstores and online vendors like Amazon have made the process of building up a dazzling personal library almost too easy. There will always be something special about holding a bound book in your hands, turning to the next page, and having a clear look at how many pages you have left.
On the other hand, buying physical copies means you’ll have to find storage space and be selective about which books you’re bringing on vacation. Enter the e-reader. While the Kindle is probably the most popular reading tablet, plenty of new devices (including your phone) let you carry an almost infinite amount of books with you at any time. Books can also get pretty pricey, but subscriptions like Kindle Unlimited let you access thousands of books for a monthly fee. Audiobook services like Audible even let you dive into series like A Song of Ice and Fire while you're driving or on a treadmill.
While we support any mechanism that lets people discover incredible stories, now’s the time to state for the record what you think the best way to read actually is.
