Since I received the Aspire Switch 10 for review last month, I have been doing a lot of reading. Before the Switch 10, I had to read either on my basic Kindle which has no light so night reading on the couch while Justin watches an action movie or in bed wasn’t possible because I couldn’t see or on my iPhone which is too small to read for long periods of time. So mostly, I just didn’t read. The Aspire Switch 10 has changed that for me and I remember just how much I love reading, how enjoyable it is, and how soul-filling it can be. If I want to read on the couch, I use it as a tablet. When reading in bed, I use it in display (or tent) mode and read totally hands-free. I set a goal to read 12 books during 2015 which isn’t many, but it’s about 10 more than I read in 2014. We are halfway through January and I’ve already finished 4 books so I may need to readjust my goal soon.

I find most of my books for free or cheap through Amazon. I keep a running wishlist of books I would like to read and I quickly check it daily for price drops. If a book falls below a certain price point, I snatch it up. This way, I never run out of books to read and I always have several waiting in queue. As a member of Amazon Prime, I receive at least 1 book for free every month as well.

With the Aspire Switch 10, I love that I can do everything with the Intel 2 in 1 computer/ tablet combo. I can read books, surf the web, check out Facebook, create documents, edit photos, and use the Switch 10 as a tablet then snap on the keyboard and work on it as a desktop. It’s lightweight and easy to pack- I carried it on vacation earlier this month in my backpack. We are definitely enjoying it!
I’m so happy that I am back to reading regularly. I can tell a huge difference in my overall mood when I take time to fill up on good reads!
What are some of your favorite recent reads?
I have several books on my Kindle I am behind on reading. I have had a few actual paperbacks that I have been reading which is really rare for me!
