I talked my boss into a Palm Pilot in 1999, for no good reason other than I secretly wanted to read ebooks. So I’ve been reading digitally for approximately 22 years.

I’ve lost track how many devices I’ve owned, but it must over 10. My first dedicated ereader was a Sony PRS 500, that I ordered from New York as soon as I was allowed to import it into Canada - probably late 2006.

I ordered my first Kindle as soon as Amazon US would sell ebooks to international customers in 2008. I’ve had every major remodelled kindle since. I got my first kobo around 2010, and finally replaced it with a Clara so I could borrow from the library.

I was very excited to order a first generation iPad from the States too, but ultimately didn’t enjoy reading on it.
