Anna May Wong, considered to be Hollywood’s first Chinese American movie star, will be the first Asian American to appear on US currency.

There are tons of advantages to switching to an ebook reader, including the built-in lighting found on many models, which makes them easy to use in low-light conditions. And you can find tons of ebooks for free online, which can help you save money, too.

Sure, you could use just your phone to read, but that’s not an ideal experience. The thing about dedicated e-readers: They don’t have email, the internet, social media or other distracting entertainment options to lure you away from reading. They also have great battery life. Unlike popular phones and tablets, which can get washed out in direct sunlight or boasts a mighty and painful glare, many e-readers use E Ink, which produces something of a monochromatic text display.
