Not quite that but it took me rather too long than it should in the tent last night to realise that real books don’t like up like my Fire does so I was going to need my headtorch 🙂

I honestly couldn’t go back to a real book now. If you drop them it takes you ages to find your page again. The kindle lights up for reading in bed is quite light when I fall asleep and it lands on the cat who is normally along side me doesn’t flatten her lol

It does seem to go faster on Kindle, for me especially once I hit about the 70% mark in the book.
