The Challenge Factory discussion

Hooray for Technology E-Reader Challenge



Thanks to Kay (Brigidsmomma) for the suggestion of this challenge!

The e-reader has made reading accessible for a lot of people that were previously unable to read due to failing eyesight or inability to hold the weightier hardcovers and paperbacks. It also allows people to have thousands of books, right at their fingertips, or gives them the ability to hide what they are reading (like me! Reading romances exclusively leads to some embarrassing covers being shown!).

How It Works
◈Pick a Level
◈Pick which task group you will do, and you are allowed to pick multiple groups!
◈All books read must be e-books, but can be on any platform (Kobo, Nook, Kindle, PC, etc)!
◈There are no page minimums for the challenge!
