Book clubs are a fun way to explore new books as a group and ask interesting questions. It’s also a great way to keep up your reading habits if you need that extra push to keep you accountable and help you stick to your reading goals.
The beauty of book clubs is that you may read a title you normally wouldn’t choose and, as a result, you may discover exciting and engaging books that open your mind. Whether you’re joining an existing book club or hosting your own with your friends, the cardinal rule is that you must be willing to read!
So, what’s the secret to successfully being part of a book club? An eReader that sits in the palms of your hands! There are a number of reasons why once people pick up a Kobo eReader, they never want to put it down.
Get ready for some thoughtful discussions …
Experience a travelling library
A Kobo eReader stores all your books in one place so you can take your library with you wherever you are. Sometimes life gets in the way and it can be hard to find time to read, but an eReader makes it easy for you to steal a few reading minutes whenever you have a spare moment. Simply pop your lightweight Kobo eReader in your purse or bag and you have the option to read your book club pick at a moment’s notice.
You’ll see it’s easy to find time to read when you’ve always got access to a library of books at the click of a button. If you’re part of a book club or have a healthy reading habit, an eBook can also be a much more cost-effective way to purchase books. Kobo also allows you to rent books from your local library through OverDrive.
Read comfortably, whatever your routine is
As an added plus, you’ll find either ComfortLight or ComfortLight PRO built into your Kobo eReader, which means you can adjust the brightness and colour of the screen yourself or set it so it adjusts the lighting for you automatically depending on your environment.
Read your book club pick comfortably whether you read outside in the sun, in harsh lighting on public transport or in dim lighting before you go to bed. You no longer have to wait for the right time or find the perfect lighting to read comfortably. With Kobo, you can give those eyes a break and give yourself the optimum reading experience anywhere you are.
Take notes as you go and share your thoughts
The Kobo Elipsa eReader comes with a stylus, so you can jot notes as you read. This makes is easy to recount what you liked and didn’t about each novel to your fellow book club members. Keep all your notes in one place, share thoughts with friends and scribble down discussion points in the margins.
Never forget a thing by highlighting and writing notes on themes, character development or just something insightful in the text – Kobo Elipsa gives you the full book experience but with greater versatility.
One of the most important parts of a book club (apart from the wine and cheese platter) is the discussion. A good book club challenges its members to read outside their comfort zones on topics that challenge their point of view and with genres they wouldn’t normally choose, along with new and emerging authors.
Don’t have time? Multitask with an audiobook
Perhaps you’ve overcommitted yourself by joining a book club and you’re finding you don’t have as much time as you thought you would. Try giving audiobooks a go!
Switch up the podcast you listen to on your daily commute or the music playlist you have on while you walk and try an audiobook instead. Listening to an audiobook means you can multitask while still taking in the story. Not only will you be entertained, but you can keep your promise of sticking to a book club. And who doesn’t love a story being read to them?
Take your full book club reading list everywhere you go thanks to your Kobo eReader and Booktopia by Rakuten Kobo app. Read a few pages on your daily commute, churn through a chapter on your lunch break or even make use of the few minutes while you’re waiting for a video conference to start – Kobo makes everyday reading easy.
