I Bought An iPad to Read eBooks | Watch me unbox my iPad, decorate my case, and share my KU TBR!! 🥰

Hello! I shared earlier this year that I wanted to get into reading eBooks and I finally made the biggest step to doing so: I bought an iPad!! Come unbox my iPad with me. Please. I had to edit 1 hour of footage and it was full of my chaotic energy :)))))
I'm sorry the intro is all over the place. I was so excited about my camera 😂
If you have an iPad over another eReader, do you have any tips to optimize the reading experience?
What's on your KU TBR?

I just got my iPad mini 6 in purple today just for reading. I love it as I can access not just kindle, but kobo, google books and Libby. I got the 64gb as well as I’m only going to use it as a reader. I took all apps that I didn’t need off of it and freed up so much more space. Thanks for your video. 😊 I’m also going to keep it in airplane mode to see if my battery life is better. I’ll turn Wi-Fi on when I charge it.

the ipad is superior. you can listen along to audiobooks while you read.

[@ChristelsTales]

I didn’t even think to do that!! I cannot focus with audiobooks alone so that will definitely come in handy 😂

You can do the same with kindle whisper link….?

I too went with an iPad mini and 64 gb JUST for reading. The pro is ofc too big. It’s for drawing tbh but just in case I keep books there too. Same with the air 5. I really thought I would read there but the screen was too big and the iPad too heavy especially for in bed reading. So got the mini. Absolutely perfect. I had a minimalistic case for it too but I decided to apply a skin on it! It feels even more lightweight and like an ereader book vibe. I love it. My only,T concern is that I will run out of storage. I’m at 24 go and I have about 200 books on it. I wish I had my whole physical library on it too. So I have about 50 mangas on there. Those are taking up a lot of storage like 100-200 ish mg versus 10mb from typical books. Or less than 10. So I’m going to refrain from buying any more manga except the current series I’m trying to complete but that’s it. If any more manga is on my list to get, I’ll add it to the iPad Air 5 since manga might be nicer to read on a bigger screen. Plus I blaze through manga so it’s not long sessions of reading. Btw your commentary is quite funny and pleasant. Hope your channel blows up with lots of subs!

I am absolutely loving it for reading! I honestly thought the 2 kindles I've seen in person were way too small and the mini is the perfect size. I've only been reading what's free on Kindle Unlimited so I haven't run into that problem yet 😂 (just kidding I just checked and I'm already at 20 gb?!) My boyfriend and I were just talking about him reading manga on the iPad so that's good to know that it's gonna add up quickly! I am sad that KU is basically renting so I can't "keep" the books 🥲 Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to watch my video I REALLY appreciate it 🥹🫶

Loved your energy

[@ChristelsTales]

thank you so much ☺️

[@BadBxtch99]

The Crave series is so good!!! You’ll love it

[@ChristelsTales]

OMG I'm so sorry I just saw this!!!!! 😭🙈 I've definitely been eyeing the crave series even more lately because i want more vampire stories and since it's on kindle unlimited i might start it soon 👀

[@ROULHS]

I recommend you to get a magsafe popsoclet and a apple pencil case-sleeve!

[@ChristelsTales]

i've been looking into an apple pencil case sleeve! right now i just have it on my desk because it gets in the way too much when i have it on the iPad 🙈

[@arryanalashea]

Great review! I also didn’t want to get a kindle because it was in black and white. I did end up buying one and I don’t notice it as much as I thought I would! I’m actually still interested in getting an iPad also because I can read and watch things on the go. Do you have the link for the case and the stickers?

[@ChristelsTales]

Thank you 🥺 i’ve been able to think about it more and the “lag” i guess of the kindle is another reason, but i am really jealous of the battery life!! here are all the links for the case and stickers! lmk if it works 🙈 a.co/d/4YvTLXm a.co/d/cW7vtYc a.co/d/2VcrojB a.co/d/37Da43Y a.co/d/edsbUDf a.co/d/7cUFYB0 a.co/d/67ec3pC and honestly a lot of the sticker packs had the same stickers as others, so you definitely don't need to get as many as i did 😅😂
