Is my Kindle counting as Screen Time?

Is my Kindle counting as Screen Time?

The experience on the Kindle has been really good, wait wait wait, you must be wondering what a Kindle is, right? Well, let me tell you, what is it? A Kindle is a small handheld electronic device for reading books, which has been developed by online retailer Amazon.As you download offline for Netflix or Spotify, you similarly download books onto a Kindle and read them on it

Why This Matters to Me 

I really appreciate this gift. I would rate it 9 out of  10. The screen is very special, it has the same feeling of reading a paper book.If the light setting is low. So you get the same feeling as reading a books,I received a Kindle as a gift in January 2025. So far, I’ve spent £119. That’s quite a lot for six months.

My Experience
Let me get back to my experience. I really like it. I can read books without the internet. I only need the internet to download them. They are purchased from Amazon. I charge it only once a week and read at least 10 hours per week. I know that's super cool, but it's got something much cooler. It has almost all the books in the world in almost every language. Every time I read, I lose track of time. That's kind of annoying😅. I often read before bed. I I get engrossed in the story that I end up reading for hours.I made a spreadsheet to show you the prices, authors, and number of pages. Here it is. Kindle

My Thoughts 

It has really helped me in class too. A year ago, my English vocabulary wasn’t very good. But now that I read on the Kindle, I can understand the meaning of every word as I use the dictionary.

My Real Feelings 

I started reading books when I was 9. I began with Cupcake Girls by Coco Simon, the French version. A year later, I had finished the whole series. The next year, I read Harry Potter. It took me so long to read it because I had a very important exam that year. In January, my Uncle Lionel gave me a Kindle, I was so happy. I was just thinking about how I could get a new book without going to the bookstore. My uncle told me that it was much cheaper to have a Kindle than to go to the bookstore or the library  every two weeks.

I calculated the average amount of money I spent on my kindle everyday in Mauritian Rupees.Here is the conversionI used 

£119.45 in Mauritian Rupees 7349.16 

Numbers of days since 1 of January to 22 of June 2025  =172

Rs 7349.16 divided by 172 = Rs 42.727

I compared it to my Ipad’s screen time,I usually read 2 hours per day.I use my Ipad more but I enjoy my kindle way more.

I compared it to my favourite app, Pinterest. My daily average is 58 mins and my kindle average time is 2 hours.I personally think that the kindle is better.

Creative Extras 

Here are some recommended books for children aged between 10 to 13 years old kids. Lottie Brooks the whole series, Bex Carter  Dramadis, Julia Jones Diary.

 A big thank you to Uncle Lionel Blackman.

What did I learn from writing this blog?

I learnt how to make a chart from spreadsheet,I compared the different screen times and I most importantly realised how much I love my kindle.
