It's 100k in combined assets at BofA / ML, so if you have 100k in a brokerage account (or an IRA or a HSA or ...) you're eligible. It's not restricted to the super low yield savings accounts.

Lastpass says: "The app needs this permission to provide a global, system-wide shortcut to bring up the search field, so that users can quickly locate a vault entry and copy passwords or launch sites. You can deny this permission request, as the Mac application will continue to work. It will just disable this function from working."

I bet it's similar here, they want a system-wide shortcut to get to google drive. Seems like an oddly named permission.

I live in a tiny apartment with no room for all the books I read. I don't like the clutter much anyway - and it makes it hard to move. I have no one local to me to lend books to. Being able to download a book instantly, whenever I want, is a huge advantage.

When I travel, carrying a lightweight kindle or iPad is simple and doesn't take up tons of space like the 3 giant paperback books I would read without an e-reader. Plus, assuming I bring an iPad, it does tons of other stuff as well.

On top of that, as other people have mentioned, all the syncing that is done between reading devices is fantastic.

Also, I can read in the dark on my iPad, and I can read with white words on a black background, which is much easier on my eyes.
