I am a slow reader and i can’t really get into reading because i find it quite challenging (i can read decently but the drive isn’t there). Any tips? thanks

    First, read stuff that you’re interested in. Or the book from movies that you have seen. Second, read before bed, not only does it help relax you to sleep, but it takes the place of screen time.

      Tfw you use an ancient iPad as a glorified eReader. :/

      I really need to stop doing this, but I have most of my books as eBook, unfortunately. The problem is that I often get distracted while reading, since it’s really tempting to just open Safari and browse reddit.

        ebooks are fine but get a dedicated device for it so you wont get distracted. i once got a simple tolino for 19€ in a sale, I guess you could find a used kindle for a similar price point.

          Are there any e-readers that can connect to a pc (so that i can put pdf/epubs on it)

            i think any reader can does this. kindle and tolino for sure. you will want to use the foss software calibre to manage your books, it can send books to kindles and will convert them when they are not in the right format. kindles cannot open epub so you have to convert to mobi or azw3 format which calibre does. ive got the current kindle paperwhite and love it. i dont read pdf on it though because its mostly a pain. i got an android tablet for pdf.
