Oh like you think I didn't have the Kindle app on my iPhone? You've met me, right? LOL
I LOVE that I can read something on my Kindle and then when I'm taking a break at work, continue reading on my iPhone in a seamless fashion.
And don't get me wrong, I LOVE the feeling of a book. For me the Kindle is practical (along with being insanely great). When I'm
not in school, I leave the house for work with my laptop and at least two, usually three, books in my messenger bag. Add to that some massive textbook during the school year and I can easily have a bag that's coming in around 15 lbs or so depending upon what I'm reading at the time. Before I got the Kindle, for instance, I had the new Terry Pratchett in hardcover and the new Richard Dawkins in hardcover Thorsten Veblen's "Theory of the Leisure Class" in the bag. Did I mention I cycle to work?
So this way, I no longer have to worry about "which book(s) do I haul today" I can take as many with me as I wish, in the same 10 oz package and can read whatever it is I feel like reading that day. It saves my back. Oh and did I mention that the Kindle is insanely great?
There's things I promised Belly I wouldn't get on the Kindle--like any new Terry Pratchett since we both worship him as a literary god.
Cheers
