    I've changed our bedding but should have asked J to help. Midnight Sun is massive so even reading for long is uncomfortable!

    I'm struggling holding it too!

    Are you resting now?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I am. I'm doing a little bit of uni work while J goes to pick the children up and it's easier on my hands than holding that book!

    And why I have my kindle...
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I have a Kindle too somewhere with a few hundred books on. I just love the feel and smell of proper books.

    I couldn't agree more! I love real books for the same reasons as you...feel and smell of them. I hope real books won't be phased out completely.

    I personally prefer a paperback to reading from a screen.

    I have a kindle account too but love a proper book. If I fall asleep in bed reading A often has to peel a book off my face....its painful when a tablet hits you on the nose or chin....and dont even get me started about drooling on it
