⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) Hooray for Technology E-Reader Challenge

description

Thanks to Kay (Brigidsmomma) for the suggestion of this challenge!

The e-reader has made reading accessible for a lot of people that were previously unable to read due to failing eyesight or inability to hold the weightier hardcovers and paperbacks. It also allows people to have thousands of books, right at their fingertips, or gives them the ability to hide what they are reading (like me! Reading romances exclusively leads to some embarrassing covers being shown!).

How It Works
◈Pick a Level
◈Pick which task group you will do, and you are allowed to pick multiple groups!
All books read must be e-books, but can be on any platform (Kobo, Nook, Kindle, PC, etc)!
◈There are no page minimums for the challenge!

Duration: April 1st, 2017 to April 30th, 2017

Levels:
Easy: 1-4 books
Medium: 5-8 books
Hard: 9-11 books
Enthusiastic: 12-15 books
Dedicated: 16-19 books
OMG, the guys in the white coats are coming...I'm Committed: 20+ books

Tasks:
Read as many books as you can in e-book format!

Spell out the e-reader of the month: Calibre using Title, Author Name First Letter (Either first or last name, No Middle Names!), or Series Name First Letter

Pick an author and read as many of their books as you can in e-book format.

Pick a series and read as much of it as you can in e-book format.

If you have a favorite e-Reader, be sure to PM its name to Foreman Trea, as she can always use a new addition to her current list of e-readers!
