GEAR FOR BOOK LOVERS

TECH FOR A BETTER READING SESSION

- BY CULLEN THOMAS

Book lovers love books, of course. So surely the best gear for book lovers is just books. But the ironic thing is that book lovers can be kind of hard to shop for, because they've already got a long list of books they plan to read, and unsolicited donations, while always welcome, may not be helpful. So instead of a book they will read... eventually (for sure), why not get your book lover something to help them focus and make their book nook even more cozy?

Astropad Rock Paper Pencil v3.0

($44.99 USD)

iPads are great devices for e-books, but if you're going to be reading on an iPad, why not make it feel like a book? This screen protector for your iPad is textured to create the feel of paper under your fingers. I was skeptical at first, but eventually found the subtle effect quite pleasant, and reminiscent of that bookish quality. Plus, it protects your iPad screen from scratches and dust and won't fingerprint easily.
