Anyway, I want something similar to my Kindle Paperwhite, so a5 size(ish), lightweight and with a superlong battery. Please don't suggest muti-purpose tablets as already have a Samsung Tab.0 -

Shouldn't this thread include audio books too?
I've used audiology on and off over the years but since Spotify started doing audio books (if you're on a family plan, the main account holder gets access!), I'm 'reading' (ok, listening) to a book over average every 4-5 days when I start.
Currently listening to Sir Chris Hoy's autobiography on the train.2 -

Spotify is a great platform for lazy people like me, obviously it was the cheap music, (although not real high quality bitrate like Tidal but ok for the train), that got me first but their podcast section drew me to the spoken word and now their book section is something I'm on every day. I do sometimes reach their limit which can be annoying as I'm not paying extra, I wait until the following month and go elsewhere. There are a couple of draw backs for me with audio books, one is the character accents which I never imagined when reading and the other is concentrating on the stories or subjects, I find real books hold my mind better.1 -

I'm up to chapter 5 of Sir Chris' book (about 40% in) and he has spoken every word so far. Fingers crossed it continues. A lot of books will have the authors voice for the first couple of chapters then they sign off and get someone else to read for them until the last chapter when they come back. I'm looking at you Stuart Broad CBE.
I walk an awful lot during a week and it makes a change listening to a book rather than listening to Talksport.
Next on the list - Jimmy Anderson and Hugo Lloris' books.
I would struggle to sit still and read a proper book now. Occasionally I do but it really is very occasional. Far too many distractions around the house to sit still. Didn't even manage to read a book on holiday a few weeks ago, resorted to walking and audiobooks again.0 -

I’m on my second Kindle and its 7 years old. My main gripe is that if Iz’m reading a non-fiction book its likely to contain some graphs or maps. They are basically unreadable on mine. They are supposed to enlsrge but dont in any way that makes them readable.
So do the new ones do it better?2 -
