One purchase made in 2013 which has been the best ever was the Sony ereader. Sad to say that Sony has stopped making them since early 2014. With that purchase I have managed to stock over a couple of hundreds titles of my favourite authors. Some of these books are parked in my IPad Air which is able to download ePub publications as well.
So what happens to all the books that I owned? Slowly and surely I am going to sell all of them unless they are of some value of sort like sentimental or hard to find books. But only intend to keep 10% of my current titles. Managed to sell a number of books at a bargain price in Mudah.my. Some pushed to second-hand book sellers here.
Of course you cannot find any ereader in Malaysia but I was so lucky to find one resourceful seller in KL dealing with ebook readers. That said he is not into this business anymore. But there is KOBO GLO /Aura where you could get this decent ereader from a bookstore in Hong Kong.
The battery life is what's great about this machine. I could read over a month with one charge at a rate of an hour or two a day. Bookshelf - not buying anymore. No dusting or discolour books. Nor any silverfish either.
However you do need a small ereader light to read from dusk onwards. But daytime you can read in bright sunshine and not worry about any glare. The weight - approx 160grams only.
I guess it is time to hit the books on the ereader now.
