Reading on TV quick tip

Hi all,

I'd like to contribute something that I've discovered recently. I use an iPad and I have an AppleTV connected to my TV in my bedroom. It's really easy to show your ipad screen on the apple tv, though I'm sure you can do it with any combination of readers/tv devices.

That said, reading ebooks on my tv with the font set up really high is actually an incredible experience and I think I prefer it to any ereader.

The posture is more comfortable and you don't have to hold the book/device.


Often when reading on a physical book or eReader, I end up trying to find a more comfortable posture - you're either craning your neck, or if you've found a position in which your neck is relaxed, you're undoubtedly forced to hold the book/device in an uncomfortable position.

One way or another, you're straining your neck or your arms/hands. Reading on a TV is actually ideal - you can sit in your lazy boy, lay in your bed, whatever is most comfortable and ideal for your posture.

and it's a big bonus that you're not holding anything. It may seem minor, until you realize that whenever you're reading, your hands are totally occupied.

I highly recommend giving it a try if you've never done so. Luckily it was trivial to try out using my iPad and AppleTV, or I probably never would have done so. But now if I'm reading at home, it's my go to way.
