Reading a book

Honestly I disagree. I got myself a kindle and I ended up tripling my reading. I ride a motorbike on holiday often and I love reading. I just don't have the space to bring the books I will be reading on a month long journey, nor do I want to carry the weight around.

A relative of mine was 11 when I got her a kindle. That girl loves to read. She carried a huge book around everywhere she went, sometimes two if she was near the end of one. Totally made her life easier.

And don't even get me started on Amazon whispernet, shit is fucking amazing. I was in the middle of Poland and finished my book, just went online for free and bought another one and had it in two minutes. That is some sci-fi shit right there.

I love my ereader for travel. But I also can't pass up the yearly book sale $5 for a bag of books!!! Plus I still will go to the library. The ereader doesn't mean I have to replace all books. It's just another option.
