I just got my first Kindle and set it to the UK during setup since I read in English. I live in Germany, and when I connected to Wi-Fi, the home page started showing German books, probably because my Wi-Fi is in Germany. How can I make the home page show English books instead of German ones...

I’m trying to be a serious reader for the first time in years and could really use some recommendations! The last book I read was when I was 12—Paul Jennings novels were my go-to back then. Lately, I’ve started books but haven’t managed to finish them. My favorite movies—The Giver and The 5th...

I’m considering a Kobo for borrowing eBooks from multiple libraries, but I’ve read that it can only link to one library at a time via OverDrive. Is that true? Can I still borrow from multiple libraries? How easy is it to set up, and can I send books directly from the app to the Kobo...

Just curious—do you still use physical books, or has your e-reader completely taken over? Are there certain types of books or situations where you still prefer a physical copy? Or have you fully embraced the digital reading life?

I recently got a Xiaomi 7 eReader, but I've run into some issues with loading books directly onto it. Due to certain restrictions, I can't use the Kindle app or access Google services, which has been a challenge. I've found a workaround by transferring files from my laptop, but it would be much...
