Interesting that you've come around to favouring the kindle. I've similarly avoided it as I prefer to turn the pages of a book I can see in front of me. However... maybe one day.
I'm currently reading, for pleasure rather than for study, Thomas Hardy's The Woodlanders. It's an antidote to what's going on in the world right now. I escape to a pastoral scene in a patriarchal world of social climbing. Some things have changed since Hardy wrote his book in 1887 but others haven't. I enjoy going back in time with his writing, and he certainly knew how to tell a good story.
I’ve been thinking of getting a Kindle to make it easier to extract highlights and notes but I’m worried the quickness of it all may keep me from taking the time to understand a piece of text. I am also working my way through the Artist’s Way. It’s a wonderful guid to becoming more self-aware. Thanks for sharing!

Im a seminomad so I can’t carry my books as well. But came to terms with my Ipad so now I read there.
Im currently reading “The artificial man and other stories” from Claire winger Harris
Also I got a great HumbleBundle Comics collection and will start reading “Isola”
I did used a nook (Barnes kindle ) time ago but it was to carry all my technical equipment manuals . Its pretty handy
Thank you for sharing I will look at the sketchbook handbook
