Dear Readers,
Are you making the most of your e-reading experience? We talk a lot about the tools that make audiobook listening so seamless, but e-books deserve their moment, too! For some readers, nothing beats the feel of a paperback. For others, e-reading offers an affordable, portable way to fit more books into a busy life. We love e-reading with Apple Books for so many reasons. With their pay-as-you-go format, we can get new books whenever we want without worrying about subscription limits. We can read on our iPhones or iPads, making it easy to sneak in a few pages whenever we can. Plus, the Apple Books app includes fun and handy tools that help personalize the reading experience to fit your needs.
First, we think it’s key to adjust your font size. Just like changing your listening speed, customizing the page presentation can make reading more comfortable and help you stay focused. Next, we love the highlight tool that lets us save favorite passages and memorable quotes. This is perfect for anyone looking to revisit what they loved about their monthly book club read before meeting with friends. Finally, we have to shout out the bookmarks function which makes it easy to track progress, especially if you’re jumping around between essays or short stories. Personalizing all these elements has made e-reading a staple in our reading routines. What are your favorite e-reading hacks?
Happy Reading,
Reese’s Book Club
