Gift Idea: Literati Reader

I have always been an avid reader since I was a young girl. I would take a bag full of books with us on trips, I would read at the Dr.'s office, read while waiting on mom in the car, on the way to church, etc. I read constantly. Soaking up new information and being transported to new worlds, history, and expanded my imagination . 

Unfortunately , the books take up a lot of room, and can get heavy. When eReaders came out I was a little apprehensive about having one device that held all my books. Nothing compares to holding pages in your hand and spending quiet evenings under a blanket reading. I love the sound of pages turning. 

But I got the chance to try one and it's the best thing. I love it. The Literati Reader comes in black and white. I have the black one. I was worried about it feeling bulky but really it's not that thick. Probably about as thick a thick magazine. It has a large color screen and you can set the font to be as large or small as you need it to be. Same with the brightness. It can be adjusted to your liking or if you are reading in bed you can adjust to where it won't bother your other half. 

The Literati Reader also comes with a nice protective cover to prevent scratches on the screen when it's in your bag or keeping spills from gooping up the screen. Best of all it's wifi enabled. So you can download books super quick and be ready to read your favorite magazine or book in a flash. 

I took it on our trip to Mr. Right's parents house and it took up so little room in my purse. It was bright enough that I could read in the dark without straining my eyes. I used the flap on the cover to shield my hubby's eyes from the light while he was driving. And downloading a book was so easy using Kobo.

I haven't tried this but you can use a SD card of up to 8GB with books stored on it as well. And it can read PDF files! Very handy when your traveling and wanting to share tutorials. The only thing that I didn't like is it's not completely touch screen. There are arrows on the sides of the screen you touch to turn pages. but searching and maneuvering around the system is old school. Takes some getting used to after using my phone and Mr. Right's iPad. But it's not a huge issue. Just takes some getting used to. 

Best of all my books are no longer taking up space on my nightstand, shelves, and desk and there's more room in my purse. We all love more room in purses don't we ladies?

Literati eReader will make a perfect gift this Christmas for the avid reader in your life. 

I'm just say'n
