2012 Book Reading Challenges

Written By: amodini - Jan• 10•12

I have a new Kindle now, and LOVE it. Reading on the iPad is also fun – I use it on night mode, so that reduces the glare. But the Kindle is zero glare, very much like a book, and oh-so-light. Fits right in the palm of my hand (yes, I have a large palm 🙂 )! I like the fact that the Kindle is a dedicated eReader; with the iPad it is very easy to get distracted into checking my email/Twitter/Facebook . . . Plus I have the 6″ Kindle, which has a cumbersome touchscreen keyboard – this works great for me, since it dissuades me further from straying too far from my reading knowing that straying will mean laborious touch-screen typing on very small virtual keys.

Which means I am all set to read in 2012. I have signed up for 2 challenges so far  (I completed 2 in 2011):

1. GoodReads 2012 Reading Challenge : Goal of 20 books – you can see the book-tracking widget in my sidebar.

2. Workaday Reads 2012 Ebook Challenge : Goal to read at CD level, which means 10 ebooks.
