Something I like to do over the weekends when I have more time is to read a book.. I love books but I have to admit that books do take up unnecessary luggage space and weight.
So last year, I was a bit naughty and decided to treat myself to a Christmas gift.. which came in the form of a Kindle Touch. Mind you, I've always been an anti-ebook person because I couldn't imagine myself reading off some E-Reader and not holding an actual physical book. "It wouldn't be called reading if you can't turn the pages!" is what I constantly say. But I have the bad habit of reading a couple of books at one go, so my bag was beginning to weigh a ton. And that was when I started getting curious about the Kindle.
Soooo, more rambly bits about my getting-a-Kindle-story. A couple of months back when I was in London, I went into John Lewis and stumbled across the Kindle stand.. it was like a sign because another of my apprehension to getting a Kindle because I wanted to fiddle around with it to see if I'd like it. I ended up purchasing it when I got back home because I wanted something touchscreen and the UK store hadn't launched the Kindle Touch then. It's been almost a month since I've received it, and had time to play with it and the verdict? I'm in love! It definitely makes reading SO much easier and convenient because it is super light and I love having "carrying" so many of my favourite books with me altogether. I think I'll probably read a lot more books now :)
Do any of you own a Kindle or a ebook reader? Or are you against ebooks (like I was)? Let me know! :)
I have a Kindle too, and it's awesome! (I have the older version, though).
ReplyDeleteMy Dad convinced me to buy one because I'm a big reader too and he told me "you could save so much paper". It is true and I always have this point by my side when someone tries and calls me a "non true reader" haha.
The touch looks very nice to handle, how long does the battery last on this one?
Oh, your Dad is a wise man :) Hm, I've had my Kindle Touch for a little over a month and haven't needed to give it a proper charge yet.. But I've done a little charging when I load new books into it. So I'd say battery life is good! Probably should last about 3-4 weeks!
ReplyDeleteI have a Kindle too, I so love it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's brilliant :)
ReplyDeleteSaw your comment on MissGlamorazzi's blog and I thought I'd check your blog out....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm holding out on the Kindle for the same reasons you had but I'm starting to cave in haha.
What books are you reading?
Give my blog a look?

Hehe, I wish I'd have caved in sooner! I'm currently readingThe Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller and I've just finished the I Heart series by Lindsey Kelk. What about you? :)
