Even during my break from from university until now, I had a hard time reading. My mind couldn&#8217;t focus and I always felt like I had something better to do. That was until I purchased my first eReader. The Kobo. After downloading several books, I was hooked. I can&#8217;t seem to put it down. I read absolutely everywhere! Trains, car rides, hockey arena (don&#8217;t tell my fiance&#8221; and even at the gym! It almost feels like my stress\u00a0reliever from my 3 MET classes. I just get so focused on the book and trying to finish it, so I can read something new!<\/p>\n<p>I would definitely recommend the Kobo to anyone who is interested. I did a little research before buying and found for my price range and interests, the Kobo was my best choice.
