Agree with an iPad. I have the nook and kindle apps and I also use Libby which is a library app to get books for free from your local library.

I use to get terrible migraines from looking at screens so I got blue light glasses which have shockingly helped a ton. Also my iPad has a “night shift” feature which I utilize a lot. iPad is just my opinion though - I really like to read (I’ve read 33 books so far this year) and I like that I can utilize it for more than reading as well.

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/â‚č was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

I respect his habits and I've been pretty cautious (cont. in comments)
