My Kindle


When the kindle first came out, I never thought I would use one. I love my books too much! I could spend hours in a bookstore, sitting in a comfy chair, speed reading through all the books that call to me on that day.


So when

my sister gave me a Kindle for Christmas last year, I had no idea how

much I would grow dependent on it. I find myself downloading the books (for 1/2

the price!) I want to read, but wouldn’t necessarily buy. I can also download my documents, like lyric sheets, or notes for a meeting. And I really love the option to highlight lines and make notes as I’m reading.


The best part is when I’m headed out of town, to the beach or just across town to a coffee shop, I don’t have to make up my mind what I’m going to want to read. My lovely kindle holds everything to suit any mood.


I still buy books though, just like I thought I would. And it makes me incredibly sad to see all of favorite bookstores going out of business.


Why can’t we just live in a world with both?
