When I go on vacation, I easily devour one book every two days. And I'm not talking about the thin ones, but about those thick tomes. My mother used to have to drag me out of the library, because I would quietly hang out there all Wednesday afternoon. I am a bookworm. Only when my partner was sighing and groaning under the weight of my seven books in his bag while walking through Schiphol, did I know it had to be different. For the first time, I turned to the e-reader. I, the type who always claimed to love paper, which I still do by the way. But the new Kobo Nia is a piece of better than ever. It's slightly larger than your smartphone, it reflects the light from outside so you don't squint, it has a battery life that outlasts almost every book, it fits in your small bag, but it has room for 6000 books AND it's available for a price so low that you've already made it back with just five purchased books. I just started the The Seven Sisters series and you can now guess three times how many thick books that actually are. Chapter 44, at 78 percent of the book according to the Nia, with still two hours of reading ahead (also handy to know) and I still don't have a sore arm. This is a keeper.
