Before Reddit pissed off the Apollo community, they pissed off me. As a result, I downloaded the books app for my phone and put it where my Apollo app was on my homescreen, then I downloaded a bunch of epubs and loaded the app with them. Reading on my phone isn't as good as a real book or an ereader, but it goes everywhere with me and therefore so do the books. Being on Reddit for so long, I pretty much have the muscle memory of opening Apollo when I am bored programmed into my lizard brain, so I end up opening the books app. Also, since I am not carrying physical books around, I find myself reading a bunch of books at the same time. I pretty much always am in the middle of a science book, a cooking book, a novel of some sort, and a book about playing pool.
