If you are like me who loves the feel of hard copy books and reading them, this may be a frustrating time for you as we have all been compelled to stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected almost every country in the world. The opportunity to visit a bookstore to buy your anticipated reads or order online and get your books delivered to you are no more readily available so how do we still keep reading especially at this time when we need it the most?

I started reading ebooks and listening to audio books a little while ago and I have come to love the experience as they are readily available on my mobile phone and tablet which I carry around with me all the time. However, in these times they have become more relevant to me because I still have access to most of the books I want to read even if i can not purchase my preferred choice of hard copy books. For people who are not big on reading books, reading a book at this time will help you fill up the time and occupy your mind positively as it is easy to get bored when cooped up inside your house day in day out.

 All you need is a phone or tablet and an internet connection to have access to millions of books to read without stepping an inch outside your home. I have found  some particular Apps. very useful and I wish to share them with you so you too can keep reading as you stay at home. My favorites so far are SCRIBD, Audible and Okadabooks . Check out these 6 reading Apps and find the best fit for your reading needs.
