To print out a map to follow while reading a book?

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Does anyone else do this? Or just me?

I like to see where I am when I’m reading a book. If it’s just a normal book I can look up the map on my phone. But I’m reading on my phone now and its a real faff having to flick between kindle and google images so I’m going to have to print out a map to refer to while reading.

Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I don't print one out but I will regularly look places/routes up on Google maps. :)

I need to be able to picture it

I was thinking recently that books with reference pages (maps, family trees, list of characters etc) should have a special button when you're on an e-reader, which gives you instant access to those pages without having to flip backwards and forwards. Like, a little symbol that you tap, and then those pages appear as an overlay.

Oh that’s genius! That’s exactly what I need.

Ah hello there my friends 😁

anyone like those travelogue/cookbooks?
I bought a Persian one as a gift for a friend a while ago.
Great to read thru, and she cooked some amazing recipes from it while I was there, added bonus.

That reminds me that I've got Felicity Cloake's One More Croissant for the Road in the 'to read' pile somewhere.
That will definitely need a map

Glossaries for made up words, however, annoy with me immensely. In my early teens I would read any science fiction, but "Dune," with its glossary and enormous list of characters that I couldn't have cared less about, and which seemed to take up half the book, nearly defeated me. I read the first one, and couldn't bear the thought of any of the others.

I'm proper sad, I look up places on Google earth as well as on maps. I get really excited if I think I've identified the actual house an author has based a "fictional" house on.

I blame E F Benson, this all started when I worked out where I thought Lucia lived on a visit to Rye approx 40 years ago.

@LakieLady I doubt there's many on this thread that consider that proper sad. It's a checking Google Earth is given isnt it?

you're among friends here Lakielady!
