In the States . Can we stop assuming everything is aimed at Americans ? Teachers get paid well up here in Canada , and there ' s a massive waitlist for teaching positions . That ' s just teaching in the normal areas , you can teach in remote areas , and they give you a shit ton of benefits . Free transportation , lodging , allowances , iirc <| sep |> For me it was the fact I can get the kindle easily in my handbag , I can always line up the next book to start and don ' t have to wait til I get home , that size of a volume no longer matters , that I can get foreign language titles for the same money and can easily find them . There are lots of reasons and it seriously helped me read on my commute . <| sep |> No we just need to stop living in LA
