This is the worst part about using a Kindle.

📖 My book, Just One More Chapter: http://go.maneetpaul.com/just-one-more-chapter 🔗 Shift by Ethan Kross: https://geni.us/pr-march2026 📚 Join my monthly book club: https://go.maneetpaul.com/book-club In today’s video, I break down the worst part about using a Kindle—and it’s not what you might expect. While most people complain about hardware issues, the real drawback goes deeper: the emotional experience of reading. Inspired by insights from Shift by Ethan Kross, we explore how our senses shape the way we feel while reading and why physical books still hold a powerful advantage. But does that mean you should ditch your Kindle? Not quite. I also share why e-readers still win when it comes to building a sustainable reading habit, managing notes, and reducing clutter. If you’ve ever struggled to choose between physical books and eBooks, this video will help you find the right balance. ⏰ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 0:45 The Power of Our Senses 3:47 That New Book Smell 5:26 Book Tech Still Wins Hi there!
