I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but it seemed to fit.

I discovered yesterday that my local library has a new app, and installed it on my 10.1 inch tablet. This turned out to be a great idea for helping me with my goal of reading more poetry. Some here have commented that for them, poetry is best read from paper books because physical formats can preserve the visual structure intended by the poet. Paper books are not an option for me, so I was delighted to discover that the anthology of Māori poetry I read on my tablet did show the advantages of a bigger screen. I downloaded it on my tablet and onto my ADE-enabled Kobo, and the tablet was a clear winner. I didn't always understand what the poet was trying to achieve by the formatting and structure they chose, but I could definitely SEE it much more easily on 10.1 inches than on 7. As an aside, I discovered that my Kobo store would charge me $25US for buying that anthology, so HOORAY for libraries!
