Why I Created a Digital Library
I could collate all my digital books and reading/listening apps in one place. And if I kept social media apps and all notifications away from the device, I could create my own quiet digital library.

One sweet soul wrote people like me made him want to kill himself. I refrained from replying that I was not inclined to stand in his way. I refrained from replying to any of the comments. But yeah, they chinked my confidence.
And in a heartbeat, reading had morphed from being a solely leisure activity into a necessity.
I liked the novelty of not knowing. Liked the adventure of turning those first few pages to see what time and setting we were in. Discovering the style of the writer and, gradually, the genre of the book. The premise, the theme.
At the end of the day, if we want to keep our bookshops, we must support them.
