Where do you keep your books in the RV?

Start off the new year right by reading books! How about setting a goal for yourself to read two books a month or more? RV parks usually have a free book exchange where you can trade in books you've finished for some you haven't read.

A great source for books about RVing is the largest RV bookstore on the planet - RVbookstore.com. Here you will find everything you need to know to make your RVing more fun and enjoyable.

If you are like me, you probably have several books you like to keep around for reference. Both weekend and full-time RVers enjoy taking books along on their travels, but where do you store them?

If you put them deep in the back of a cupboard you will forget about them, but if you have them somewhere at the ready, you're likely to read more.

James and Colleen White from Mt. Carmel, Illinois enjoy reading and like having their books handy so they installed a simple retaining rack in the space over the driver side and passenger side windows. This decorative railing is available at any big box hardware store. This is a handy place for both reference books as well as casual reading.Reading is one of the greatest gifts we have, so please, read with abandon in 2009! Happy New Year - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing

A Kindle is wonderful when it comes to storage. One electronic book that olds hundreds of books! I LOVE the mess it's eliminated on the table by my husbands chair!! And you can "buy" a new book where ever you have good cell phone coverage. Amazing!!

Don't you think the safety guru's are going to outlaw these unsecure missles some day?

I recently bought a Kindle as well for the above reasons. I love it.

Anyone with an iPhone or iPod Touch can also access ebooks with the Stanza app. Granted that it's a much smaller screen compared to the Kindle or Sony Reader, but it's much more compact and you can read in the dark.
