As a big supporter of bound books, I must make a confession (which will have David saying, "I knew it!") Before I go on, understand that I love the feel of a book in my hands, the way the pages rustle, the heft of a nice hardcover, the feeling of the written word just sitting in my lap - I love it. Having said that it will probably not come as a surprise that for years now I have scoffed at the use of e-readers, preferring to cart around my books with me when I traveled to visit family and friends. Years of resistance I have put up (my stubborness knows no bounds apparently haha), until this year when my loving family members came together for my birthday and all contributed to get me my kindle paper white. Such a nice thought, so I of course felt I needed to give it a fair shake.
Holy kindle! I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT. I'm not so proud that I can't admit that it is a wonderful idea after all. The ease of use, convenience in travel, and instant access to SO many types of books makes it unrivaled. Don't get me mwrong, I still love my paper books, but when I'm lazy and don't want to walk to the library (which is a lot depending on the weather), wait for a book to be transported to my branch, or just to save some space in my suitcase - this is the route to take :) I have been tearing through books on it, making the rate of which I am reading books before look like I didn't know how to read before. I cannot believe how much I love this thing, so THANK YOU to all who went in on this gift for me!
..... and yes David, this does mean that you were right haha :D
