I *have* tried to read novels on my iPad but get cramp after a few chapters as the thing is so unwieldy, plus staring at a computer screen isn’t great when trying to switch off before bed.
The Kobo Glo is literally lighter than our TV remote, which I hadn’t expected, there are over 3million books in the store and I am already hooked on the immediacy of being able to read any book I want, instantly.
The reason I picked the Kobo Glo out of their range is the fact it is billed as having the most even, eye-friendly reading light, dubbed the ComfortLight, perfect for me as a nocturnal book-devourer.
I will let you know next week how well it fairs in varying light levels and how easy it is to navigate and .
So far I’ve downloaded to take on holiday:
Gemma Burgess, Brooklyn Girls – *best friend plug alert* – I’m allowed to plug Gemma’s books because I adored her first two bestselling novels before we became mates. This is the first in her new series in The States and I can’t wait for a dose of her intelligent, modern girl’s take on life. It’s like a (very drunk) conversation with your best girlfriends. Highly recommended.
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl – simply because I feel like the only person in the UK *not* to have read this.
Rachel Johnson, Shire Hell – an oldie but one I never got to read in paperback. The follow up to Notting Hell, that I loved, and all about moving from W11 to the shires, so thought it might be rather apt!
