Re: Bookmarks

I read a lot, mostly in bed and I like a "real" book not an electronic one. Like Meg I have a drawer full of bookmarks, 3D ones, pretty metal ones with butterflies etc on the ends, even one with a twirling globe of the world which my Japanese friend sent me, but I mostly end up using "advertising" ones which seem to be on counters in many shops for people to take. I donīt know why I keep taking them, itīs not as if I need them.

Re: Bookmarks

I do have proper bookmarks, but they never seem to be at hand when I need them, invariably I use an old till receipt, although mostly read these days from my kindle, so finding my place isn't a problem.

Trying to think what unusual things I have found as book marks left by others, a strip of someone's medication, is one I remember

Re: Bookmarks

I make my own book marks and laminate them to keep them clean.
Also sell lots of children's personalized ones on Ebay. Here are some samples.

Thanks Mups.

I find reading from a kindle a lot better as some books are quite heavy to hold, especially at bedtime where as a kindle is so much easier.

Re: Bookmarks

Proper bookmarks slip out of the book, so I always use a paperclip. They're ideal, and don't mark the pages. I use big ones. Paperclips that is, not pages ...........

Re: Bookmarks

I tend to drop asleep in bed when reading, after 10 minutes inactivity a kindle goes into sleep mode and saves my place, a book if you let go it will fall or close and lose my place
