Why I Finally Made the Switch to a Kindle in Bali: My Unexpected Reading Journey
Loading video player...
Well… that escalated quickly 😅📚
Asked the internet if I should get a Kindle this morning…
and now I’m unboxing one a few hours later because Tokopedia delivered it within the hour 👀😂
I ended up going with the Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen, 7-inch waterproof reader and honestly… I’m ridiculously excited to try it out 🤍
Nothing will ever replace real books for me
the smell, the pages, the feeling of holding one in bed 😭
But living in Bali and travelling so much, physical books take up SO much space… and I’ve been struggling to find everything I want to read on Apple Books lately
So this feels like a pretty good middle ground 👌
Now I need your recommendations 👇
What’s the FIRST book I should download? 📖✨
Well… that escalated quickly! 😅📚 This morning, I asked the internet if I should get a Kindle and, just hours later, here I am, unboxing the Kindle Paperwhite 12th Gen, thanks to Tokopedia's lightning-fast delivery! 👀😂 Living in Bali has its perks, but the availability of books isn't always one of them. Between the limited selections and my frequent travels, lugging around stacks of novels has become less idyllic and more impractical.
Despite my eternal love for the touch and scent of real books—their pages turning softly as I read in bed—I've decided to embrace a Kindle as my travel companion. Its 7-inch waterproof design? Perfect for adventures here in Bali where unexpected rains or poolside lounging are everyday happenings. 🤍
What truly shifted my perspective was the gradual realization that carrying numerous books was eating into my precious suitcase space. More often than not, I've found myself scouring Apple Books, only to come up short. With digital convenience now at my fingertips, I can finally access whatever I desire without the weight.
For fellow book-loving travelers heading to Bali or anywhere else, the Kindle offers a seamless bridge between our beloved printed pages and the vast digital world. Now, my journey of discovery begins anew: which book should be my first download? I'm open to suggestions, so please drop your recommendations below! 📖✨
Switching to digital doesn’t mean saying goodbye to print forever, but it's about finding the perfect balance—especially when exploring beautiful places like Bali. Ready to lighten your load and enrich your adventures?
