Even though coronavirus has been around for a while, most of us are still on high alert. But it’s been so long that the need to be indoors all the time might drive anyone insane and lonely. So, keep in touch with loved ones and attempt to spend time doing something that will benefit you in the long run. You can read books, listen to podcasts, watch movies, and do a variety of other things!
And, of course, there are apps that will assist you in doing so; we’ve compiled a list of them all right here. Download and have fun!
Audible by Amazon
Many people listen to audiobooks while driving or taking public transportation, but it’s also enjoyable to do so while at home and doing housework, for example.

The app for your phone is completely free.
Kindle
You can also read electronic books, which the Kindle is great for! It has a great feature where you can download their app on a tablet or phone and the technology called Whispersync will remember your progress in reading the book if you read it on other devices or even listen to it. E-books are frequently less expensive than physical copies (about $10), and you won’t have to worry about books taking up room in your home.
