Hubby asked me the other day if I would like a Kindle. Not sure what I think about them. I know some bloggers who promote them and daughter orthodontist has one. He has nothing but good things to say about it. My only draw back is I like books. You see I like browsing through them, seeing the covers, reading the front and back flaps and holding the book. Now the Kindle can read to you, pick up where you left off reading and it seems to have other handy functions. Do you own one? What do you think about the Kindle? Is it a good choice to get one. I will always be drawn to books, it will take some time for me to get use to the new technology in reading gadgets.

I am not sure about those things either. I like books and have gotten into audio books but reading on that small screen seems like it might be hard on my eyes.
ReplyDeleteMy boss got one and was pretty excited with it for a couple of weeks, but I've not seen her carry it since. I think the novelty wore off pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's a avid reader, we asked her if she wanted one for Christmas...she said NO, it's not the same as turning pages in a book.
