I can’t help but always worry that one day I’ll need paper books. I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I should start collecting paper books instead of every single book I have is on my Kobo. Which do you do? If you get paper books, is there a source that sells cheaper books. Books are kind of pricey where I look.

          Some of the original kindles had ridiculous battery life without a backlight and turning off the wifi. Wifi and backlight kills most ebook readers.

          I still have my kindle from a long time ago and it still gets around a week of battery life. I also have a kobo (because the kindle has some blotches on the screen) and it works wonderfully. It can work for about a week with heavy reading…but only if the backlight is mostly off and wifi is off.
