Best of luck. Mobileread members have many differences but we are united by one thing. Our love of books and reading.

It sure isn't! But I am making progress, which 18 months ago seemed completely impossible. Yeah, the pain itself is 100% the most limiting factor; it's hard to concentrate on anything when everything hurts :/ Though like I've already said, I've improved a shitload already, so I'm sure it'll keep improving!
The Forma is actually much easier for me to hold than a physical book as well, my hands and wrists are especially bad and that's obviously no good for holding books. Being able to switch the Forma between my two hands is amazing for giving the other a break, not to mention it's super light!
I'm determined and browsing through these forums is already motivating me. Maybe I should try to read some non-fiction since I struggle to absorb and remember the details of fictional worlds and characters. I've honestly never read any non-fiction and as embarrassing as that is, there's no better time to start than now!
