More Fun Facts about Millennials

Posted on 06/07/202112/12/2021 by BooksAvenue

The year is 2021 now.

This means those who are born in 2000 are now 21 years old. At the age of 21, many countries recognise this as the age of adulthood, a young adult from the adolescent age. It would also mean the age of transition, probably from studying to working, from college to office. This are the Gen Z group, ranging from 1997 to 2010.

What about Millennials?

So with the Gen Z entering workforce, Millennials should be in the workforce for quite some time. They should have gained relevant experience and amassed certain spending power. Are they still relevant since the trend has always been looking forward, wanting only the latest? Will they be redundant after?

To these asked questions above, BooksAvenue received warm responses from the previous article. This was written by us: Fun Facts About Millennials. In recognition of that, we decided to share more information by invitation from ReviewMoose. Though the data provided from ReviewMoose is largely based on Canadians, the trend and habits remain the same.

But one might ask, why should we know about Millennials?

A brief summary

From the information extracted from ReviewMoose, the summary as follows:

1. Millennials are earning more money than baby boomers and Gen X-ers did at their age.
2. Homeowner millennials’ after-tax income is more than double that of millennials who aren’t homeowners.
3. 28% of Canadian millennials shopped online in 2019.

Purely from the earning and spending habits, there is a deviation from the previous generations. Not only millennials are earning more, they are willing to spend on the greater things they care for.

For the other generations who might be working with millennials, this will be a point of learn about the mindset of millennials. This is especially so for Gen Z, who are entering workforce and is facing a millennial boss.

So I leave you with the this article. And a note to ponder; Why Millennials are uniquely different from the other generations?

Thank you ReviewMoose again for this kind invitation.

VPN and Amazon Kindles

Posted on 02/01/202112/12/2021 by BooksAvenue

Today we are going to discuss about VPN.

First off, it stands for Virtual Private Network. VPN essentially create a data tunnel between your local network and an exit node in another location. That could be thousands of miles away, making it seem as if you’re in another place. This allows online freedom, or the ability to access your favorite apps and websites while on the go.

Surfing the web or transacting on an unsecured Wi-Fi network means exposing your private information and browsing habits. That’s why a virtual private network, better known as a VPN, should be a must for anyone concerned about their online security and privacy.

Think about all the times you’ve been on the go. Reading emails while in line at the coffee shop, or checking your bank account. Unless you were logged into a private Wi-Fi network that requires a password, any data transmitted during your online session could be vulnerable to eavesdropping by strangers using the same network.

The encryption and anonymity that a VPN provides helps protect your online activities. Such as sending emails, shopping online, or paying bills. In addition, VPNs also help keep your web browsing anonymous.

With the short video above, and the link here to get FREE Amazon Kindle books, do sign up for a VPN today. It costs $2 per month, but think of the overall savings over the long run!

This is a partnership between BooksAvenue and privateinternetaccess. In this way, we ensure our readers are able to access to reading materials all over the world!

Why get Grammarly?

Posted on 21/08/202012/12/2021 by BooksAvenue

Have you ever sent an email with good intentions, but the recipient misunderstood or felt offended in some way by what you wrote?

While many of us have become better at getting messages across, there is always room for improvement. Getting guidance on tone can also assist those who speak English as a second language.

Grammarly is here to help with the tone detector!

By analyzing your word choice, phrasing, punctuation, and even capitalization, Grammarly’s tone detector can identify how your message is likely to sound to someone reading it so you can make necessary adjustments before you hit send.

Let’s say you’re writing a note to congratulate a friend. You may find that the tone detector identifies your message as sounding excited and joyful. Nothing wrong with that! But when you need to write an article about a controversial subject or remind a co-worker about an incomplete task without sounding aggressive, you may need some help.

A beta version of the tone detector is currently available as part of Grammarly’s browser extension for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. To give it a try, be sure you have Grammarly installed on your browser, then head to a site where you can start writing, such as Gmail. Make sure to write a few sentences—the tone detector needs at least 120 characters to activate.

Grammarly’s tone detector will save you and your target market time, misunderstandings, and possibly even hurt feelings. Remind your readers, users, and audience that Grammarly is a FREE resource that should be in everyone’s toolbox!

And be sure to check the Grammarly blog for our latest features and inspiration.

Kindle E-readers Under $100

Posted on 01/05/202012/12/2021 by BooksAvenue

Knowing the fact that the earliest Kindle device of 4gig can hold up 30,000 books [¹], why will anyone still lug a physical book around? If it is a short trip commuting from one point to another, a book does provide a quick mental getaway, covering and finishing more pages and finishing the book earlier too.

What if wanting to have the option to have all the titles in one device weighing under 200 grams? And it costs less than $100.

Will you want it?

If your answer is yes, this page will be useful for you to pick the right Kindle to suit your lifestyle.

Kindle for $64.99

This basic Kindle model uses a 6inches if electronic ink capacitive touchscreen for reading, and it lights up so you can read in the dark. A single charge lasts up to 4 weeks, based on a half-hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 13.

The only downsides are it’s not water-proof, no light-adjusting sensors or rotating page orientation, and it still uses a MicroUSB charging port.

Kindle Paperwhite for $94.99

The Kindle Paperwhite will be considered a slight upgrade from Kindle.

The touchscreen is noticeably clearer (300 vs. 167)pixels/inch. With better lights, flush-front design and more importantly, waterproof of IPX8 certified.

All-new Kindle Oasis

The All-new Kindle Oasis will be the full upgrade from the earliest 2 devices.

Not only it has the largest screen size of 7inches, the best-LED front lights, but it also has an ergonomic design, auto-rotating page orientation and page turn buttons.

This is the best option for the best reading experience. We are sorry that it is not under $100 as promised. However, the price matches the quality. And in our view, a good reading device makes it easier to flip the pages faster. (We love the page-turning buttons!)

Kindle Kids Edition for $84.99

The Kindle Kids Edition will be exactly similar to regular Kindle in terms of specifications. With the $20 price difference, there is a 2 year guaranteed replacement and a one-year subscription to FreeTime Unlimited. As it meant for purely reading, there are no games, ads, or voice assistants to interrupt.

Now with the 2 years guaranteed replacement, all parents will be willing to let kids from 7 years old and up to handle this version of Kindle.

Hope this sums all the popular Kindle readers on Amazon. There are other reading devices, however, these are the ones which focuses and specialises for reading purposes. Hope this is a simple and concise guide to narrow down the choices.

( Team BooksAvenue works hard to garner resources and detail all the money-saving ways that are available online. The affiliated links help to ensure BooksAvenue remains free for your consumption. We thank you for your kind support. )
