I do like reading too. I always used to read a lot during the holidays, but never had time to read books in between the holidays. At least, that was what I thought.
But after having read a couple of books during my last holiday I decided to continue reading at home too.
And it was just a matter of making choices. I left my Kobo e-reader in the living room and chose not to be on my phone, laptop or watch TV, but read a book. Now I read about one book every week or two.
I like reading on my Kobo since I can read in the dark and I can enlarge the letters (so I don't need my reading glasses 👴). It's also easy to take along. Especially on holidays I can easily take a lot of books with me.
I've tried listening books, but I easily get annoyed by voices of the storytellers.
Another advantage of this type of reading is that we will be able to do our other tasks while reading.
You call it an advantage, but for a lot of books I find this a disadvantage. When you really want to dive into your book, you really need to take your time for it.
I need to listen quite some webinars and podcasts for my profession (IT Security) which I often do while cycling or doing things in or around the house. But the information doesn't stick very well when you're not 100% focussed on it.
I'm happy that I've chosen to continue reading after the holidays. I think reading (or rather consuming) books is an enrichment.
