I bought myself a kindle for my birthday. I‘m so excited! Any kindle tips I should know about? Also, the tagged book is so ridiculous so far, but it is a nice break from studying.

readordierachel Just be careful around bathtubs 🙂 5y
JanJan @readordierachel that‘s a good one thanks! supposedly the new paperweight is waterproof, but I will be very careful. 5y
Texreader No hints but happy birthday!! 🎁🎂🎉🎊🎈 5y

Grrlbrarian The Kindle deals of the day can be super. www.bookriot.com does a nice roundup of Kindle deals also that may not be on Amazon‘s main Kindle deals page so worth checking also 🤗 5y
Soubhiville The daily deals can be really good, as well as the weekly ones. There are also several websites that offer free books- bookbub is the only one I can think of now... and if you have Amazon Prime you also have access to freebies. 5y
Kimberlone If you have a library card you can connect it to the Overdrive or Libby app and checkout and send ebooks to your kindle! I read so many books on my kindle this way! 5y
JanJan @Texreader thank you! 5y
JanJan @Grrlbrarian @Soubhiville @Kimberlone I am excited to save on book purchases with deals and library access! Thank you for the tips! 5y

sprainedbrain No additional tips, but I love using mine for library books as was mentioned above. Happy birthday!! 5y

Alternating between listening to this audio and watching videos on data structures/ algorithms. One is slightly more enjoyable 😉, you guess which? I am loving Simon and plan to binge all her books this month!

JamieArc Because they are so character driven, for the most part you just fall more and more in love. I think there‘s always one or two in her series people don‘t love as much, but overall, if you love the characters, you‘ll continue to like them. 6y
