What’s In Your Kindle?

KindleI’ve been asked quite a lot this summer if I’ve purchased a Kindle, the electronic reading device sold by Amazon that’s all the rage. While I remain old school in my reading habits, preferring the feel of paper to molded plastic, I think the Kindle is a great idea. In fact the Kindle is an idea whose time has come and one of these days I WILL buy one. As long as people are reading books be it on a cell phone, a computer screen or an electronic book, I’m happy. We live our lives through stories and all the new technology is an adaptation of inventive genius to our instinctive need for narrative. Yes, newspapers are folding and bookstores are closing but books are as popular as ever, that’s what the Kindle proves to me! Marita
