I have a toddler at home. I purchased a kindle a few months ago and it has drastically increased my reading time. I try to carry the kindle around the house instead of my phone. And read whenever I can - 15 to 30 mins chunks. I also read in bed before going to sleep and the backlit kindle is great for that.

Also I have been renting kindle books from my library. Very easy to try books and continue reading only if I find it interesting!

My son is still an infant, and sometimes things (teething, stomach aches, who knows) keeps him from sleeping. The Kindle makes it much more tolerable to walk around and rock him at night.

Of course, it also helps that my employer will reimburse any book purchases I make.

How does renting Kindle books work? I'm intrigued.

Our local library makes it pretty easy. Ours works through an app called Libby that connects with my library card and I then download books to the kindle.

I also recommend Libby. It used to be Cloud Library with our public library but they phased out of it and it’s Libby now. I like it much better. They also have audiobooks.
