15 eBooks To Read This Winter

Does your winter have you dreaming of snuggling up with a good book! Look no further than our list of awesome ebooks to read this winter

If the thought of snuggling up with a good book during the cold winter months appeals to you, this post is for you. I look forward to those lazy days where I can grab a good read and hide out for the afternoon. I am getting quite excited at just the thought of wearing comfy clothes, sipping on a warm cup of tea, and diving into a fabulous story.

Instead of having a pile of books that I don’t know what to do with after I read them, I enjoy reading ebooks using my Kobo eReader, where I can also listen to audiobooks. Using an eReader makes things effortless, since you can download whichever book you want, while keeping all your reading materials in one place. The Kobo is especially practical when traveling, since you can avoid having to take up precious space in your carry on bag or checked luggage. If you are a big reader, you won’t have to worry about bringing along multiple books, which can get quite heavy (If you do however prefer to actually hold a real book, there are plenty to choose from at Chapters Indigo)

The Kobo Aura for example is the perfect place to store your books, since it can hold up to 3,000 eBooks, with a library of over five million to choose from. The 6” Carta E Ink touchscreen is lightweight and easy to hold for all those hours of reading you will be doing. Another fabulous feature is that there will be no glare from the sunlight, so you can read while lounging on the beach or poolside, or by a window cooped up at home. The ComfortLight will allow you to read in a darker atmosphere, while still being able to see perfectly without straining your eyes.

There is also the Kobo Auro H2O which is waterproof and dust-proof, and is also glare-free with adjustable lighting on the page. The Kobo Auro H2O will ensures crisp, clear text for a high definition reading experience.

I can’t wait to get my hands on some of these books below. Take a look to find your next winter read!
