7" tablet with FBReader and I download books into Calibre for it to load via OPDS. I used to pay for books, but using the Kindle app was a nightmare. Different bugs every update. It was easier to pirate. I take a look online to see if authors I like have a donation link so I can pay them directly.
I thought I’d never stop reading physical books, but I wouldn’t go back after using a tablet. I never lose my place in the book when I fall asleep, I don’t need to have a light on to read, and when I wake up during the night I just flick the tablet on, read for a few minutes while barely waking up, and crash again. I could never do that before because I’d have to find my place in the book and mark it before I fell asleep again.
