As an app launched by Tencent in August 2015, WeChat Reading supports both iOS and Android terminal platforms, and in November last year, it even launched a web version (URL: / ) in the expectation of many book lovers day and night, which easily realizes multi-device cross-screen reading.

On top of that, it is also compatible with Kindle, Wenshih, KDDI, Hisense, Sony, Ink, BoRead, HanWang, PocketReader, Get, and other ink-screen devices, and its detailed installation guidelines can be found at: / .

If you are afraid that reading eBooks is too harmful to your eyes, this is a very good choice. （

So why do I say it can help you develop a better reading habit?

The answer is divided into two parts:

(1) It puts reading at your fingertips:

With WeChat Reading, tons of genuine books are available.

It also includes many novels, comics and public numbers to meet your reading needs in all aspects.

With the ability to listen to books, no matter if you are walking, running, or doing anything where you can't hold your phone in your hand, all you need to do is open WeChat Reader and start reading anytime, anywhere, so that reading is at your fingertips.

But there may be a very small number of books that are not yet available, so just click Subscribe to notifications, and you'll be notified as soon as they're available.

What? You have too many books and don't know what to read?

That's why we have to praise WeChat Book's "Guess Your Favorite" feature, which, like BaoBao and YumYum, uses big data to guess your preferences, and also pushes books on similar topics, by the same authors, or in similar styles, based on what you've read lately. For example, like this:

Every day, you go to the bookstore, you see the recommendations, you click in to see them, and if you read the introductions and other book reviews, you add them to your bookshelf, and then you can read them whenever you want.

And it seems that there is no limit to the number of bookshelves, at least up to now, I have added 1500+ books ...... also did not remind me ......

And the bookshelf also has a very humanized design, that is, if there are some books you only want to read alone and do not want to be seen by everyone. If there are some books that you just want to read alone and don't want to be seen by everyone, you can click on the book to open the private reading function.

(2) Positive incentives to visualize reading time

Are you too busy studying and working, and your free time is too fragmented? Often feel like you've been busy all day as if you haven't done anything?

WeChat Reading's reading time visualization feature can go a long way to help you eliminate this sense of powerlessness and frustration.

In all the scattered free time, you can tap WeChat Reading to read a few pages, and WeChat Reading will dutifully count all these fragmented time into the hours.

At the end of a busy day or week, when you think you've done nothing, you look at WeChat Reading and realize:

Every moment of your time you're not wasted, and you're still asking for self-growth.

This positive feedback will give you a constant flow of motivation to continue reading, and over time, habits are formed naturally.

First, when you read certain episodes and sentences, if you have some fleeting thoughts, you can immediately write them down by posting a comment, anytime, anywhere.

Then, as an open forum for reading, WeChat Reading focuses on "reading + socializing",

not only can WeChat friends follow each other, motivate each other, and compete with each other in reading time, but also play a serious reading game.

And you can meet more book lovers and friends through the comments on WeChat Reading.

And you can also read through the comments in the process of reading to know more book friends, and book friends together to find more fine good books, together at any time to exchange feelings.

You will find that there are so many people and you have **** Ming, you will meet more like-minded souls here, and even make countless interesting friends.

WeChat Reading, this time so that reading is no longer alone.

And if you have some misunderstandings or even misconceptions during the reading process, there will also be enthusiastic book lovers to help you answer or correct, to help you read more correctly or more objectively.

Isn't all this worth trying?

Are you, like me, constantly remorseful about why you spend so much time on your phone again?

And based on my experience of using WeChat Reading for three years, ever since I got into the habit of reading books on WeChat Reading every day, there has been a sharp decrease in my behavior of going to other apps to KILL TIME

(After all, I used to be someone who could brush Baidu videos for hours on end when I was bored.... ...).

This is because the amount of time each person has to spend on their phone is pretty much fixed, and it's all about how you allocate it to apps.

Of course, I'm not trying to suggest that the act of taking time to read a book is preferable to doing anything else.

Rather, I'm saying that if you want to get yourself to read more yourself, but don't know how you can do it and stick to it, combining reading with the cell phones that we're inseparable from every day could be a great way to do it.

I'll also share 2 of my own tips for using your phone:

(1) Don't want to be inundated with tons of public articles that are updated every day?

I myself follow tons of public numbers ...... and most of them are better than a few articles a day, almost every minute of the day. I may clearly just want to read one of the public number articles and end up getting drawn away by another couple of messages.

So now, twice a day, I'll just quickly skim through the daily updates, find the ones I want to read, and then tap on them and click those three dots in the top right corner, and choose to open them with WeChat Reading:

This doesn't cause me to spend an inordinate amount of time and energy dealing with the massive amount of information that floods in every day, and it also pulls me into my reading in time and reminds me that I should be reading.

(2) Don't want to be interrupted by WeChat, QQ, etc. while reading?

It is recommended to use WeChat Reader in conjunction with Forest, Tomato TODO, and other apps, so that when you want to read without distractions, you can set a time period to add WeChat Reader to your whitelist, and set those chat and video apps to be unavailable. That way you can read more immersively

Everyone has a desire to express themselves.

And reading and writing down what you think is an exercise in expression.

Before I started using WeChat to read books, I rarely commented on WeChat articles, let alone writing book reviews.

I didn't get into the habit of organizing my thoughts well, and when I did pick up a pen, or started to hit the keyboard, I found that I was getting slower and slower.

It's been so long since I've spoken my mind that over time I've forgotten how to say it.

And just when I was desperate to find a solution, I came across WeChat Reading.

Later on, I was even more inspired by the comments I made on WeChat Reader, which were recognized by some of my fellow readers, and it was only after I had this social motivation that I dared to speak up and develop the idea of continuing to write every day.

For students, WeChat Reading is really too good.

Newbies get a free 30-day unlimited card, all books are free to read, all audiobook content is free to listen to, and all comic books are free to read.

The reading hours can also be directly converted into book coins, bringing you a full sense of achievement.

These are the first time I've ever seen a book in my life, and I've never seen a book in my life.

Not only that, you can also get more unlimited cards and book coins by forming reading teams, weekly team draws, daily quizzes, friends' likes and book review sharing.

WeChat Reading will also launch exciting activities from time to time, such as free books, free unlimited cards, quizzes to share millions and good books to send to friends.

Every day I open it can bring me full of surprises.

Like me now, I have used the unlimited card for 266 days, with 311 days left, 560.90 book coins in my account, and have purchased 342 books, with a cumulative savings of $4,339.26 (referring to the sum of the original prices of the books that I have finished reading for free).

Really, the more I use it, the more I save.

Success allows me to save more money to do more things I want to do, such as eating much, much better haha

1. What if I can't stick to it?

First find books that you really want to read seriously and that you can read.

If it's because you don't have enough willpower, you can set small goals to help you get into the habit

You have to believe that reading more can really change a person, enrich your perspective on the world, increase your experience in the world, and better discover yourself.

Knowledge, even the illusion of knowledge, will be your armor, protecting you from the backlash of ignorance.

You also need to be convinced that you are really doing something useful.

Although you can't see the change in yourself for a while, over time, you're bound to look back one day in the future and realize that you've come so far.

2. Fear of eye damage from prolonged e-book reading

It is true that e-books, compared to paper books, have a very big drawback, which is that they do more damage to the eyes.

So since we have thought about this point, when reading with WeChat, we should pay more attention to the scientific use of the eyes Oh, do not stare too long, keep in mind

If you are still afraid of, you can combine it with those ink screen devices I have in the first point.

3. read and forget how to do

Answer this question before telling a little story that I saw on Knowledge:

Once there was a pair of grandchildren living in a small valley, one day, the grandson asked his grandfather: "Grandpa, Grandpa, I read every day, I read so many books, read and forget, why do I still have to read books?"

The grandfather smiled, did not directly answer the grandson, but directly from the side of the pick up a bamboo basket, told the grandson: "you help me to go to the river to play a basket of water, I will tell you why."

The grandson thought his grandfather was confused, how can a basket get water?

But at his grandfather's request, he went to the river to fetch water anyway. Sure enough, by the time he got back to his grandfather, the water was leaking out. Grandpa asked him to fetch water again, so the grandson fetched water again and again, running faster and faster, but it was still useless, the water would always leak out on the way.

Toward the end, he finally gave up and told his grandfather, "Grandpa, it's impossible to fetch water with a basket!"

Grandpa laughed: "Yes, it's impossible, but why don't you look at the basket you're using to fetch water?"

The grandson then realized that the original blackened basket in his hand, which was used to hold coal, had been washed clean, leaking out the white original appearance ......

So you have found out, every one of us reads books, it is like using a bamboo basket to fetch water. Read and forget, forget and read again, this is the norm.

But all this seemingly meaninglessness is actually helping us become who we are.

Only in the process of reading books and constantly being washed by different cultures and ideas, we can wash out the soul of the real self.

Everything that happens must leave a mark.
