This is my third kobo ereader l’m not sure if the stats transfer between them, but they probably do, read 70-120 books a year.
Holy hell dude. That’s a LOT of reading
Sure, but it’s since 2011, before that I bought real books. Having years of commuting 3 hours 3 times a week also helps. E-readers have made it a lot easier for me to read in between other tasks. 5 minute reading sessions add up over the year
What other fiction do you enjoy? I finished all the Cosmere books, but I seem to be a little picky when it comes to fiction I have learned.
Oh, have a list of authors on fantasticfiction.com. (can really recommend the site to keep up to date of book releases and find new books/authors to read) here’s a photo:
I should add Brian McClellan with the powder mage books, Brent Weeks with the Lightbringer books and Peter V Brett with the demon cycle are some very good series with some unique and well thought out magic systems that I really enjoyed.
I finished Way of Kings the other day. It was incredible! Can’t wait to read the next book.
Do you have suggestions for other Authors/books? I liked all the Cosmere books to varying degrees.
I read Brian McClellan powder mage books, which are sort of similar and enjoyed those. I also read Cradle series by Will Wight which is not similar, but I enjoyed it a lot and it was an easy break from some more dense reading.
To tell the truth I haven’t read many other fantasy series. Sanderson finished off the Wheel of Time series, which I’ve heard is good. The first book Game of Thrones book was excellent, though I found it quite dense and haven’t got round to reading any more of his. I’ve got the Assassin’s Apprentice on my wishlist as someone recommended that too.
Did you pirate your Harry Potter books ?
i did. No way I’d financially support Rowling, given her… stance on things.
It’s just as likely they were bought before, considering how long they were popular before she went off the rails.
I don’t know how accurate this is as quite often I’ll leave my Kobo awake on the desk and read a few pages occasionally while I’m working from home. I probably read more than 0.8 pages a minute (though I do have the text size set quite small)
Not really from a digital device like your screenshot but I keep track in a Google sheet. I also shared how much are from audible which has significantly increased over the last ~10 years.
I haven’t read in a bit, because I switched to audiobooks. Now I listen.
Not sure if audiobooks are blasphemy here 🙃
Not sure why it doesn’t show hours before December. Total amount listened is
5 months 18 days.Although it is skewed because I fall asleep listening and often forget to set a timer.

Man I just switched to KOBO Libre Colour and I am loving it. I wish we had a strong community here for it. It’s delightfully hackable.
We should revive !ereader@lemmy.world then :)
I’m all for that. Already engaging there some.
I’m more into listening at the moment.
I just factory reset to set up calibre-web sync on new years day .
Same issue with maybe six kobos over my life so the stats aren’t complete but here’s where I am currently:
Also missing quite a few hours of audiobooks on Libby!deleted by creator
