Kindles

Anyone here have a kindle? Who thinks it's better or worse than actual books?

I got a Kindle touch for Christmas, because some jerk slammed into me in the hall and my old one fell and broke. Along with my heart, and my back when I had to lug about 4 or 5 novels back and forth from school. (First World Problems).

I like Kindles better, because I read a lot. It's nice not having to lug novels here, there, and everywhere.

Happy Holidays!

Re: Kindles

Even books are electronic now? What's happening?

Re: Kindles

I have Kindle on my phone. It's great. I see the product a waste of money though since if you want e-books, you're going to have a product which can have it.

Re: Kindles

Hm. True... But if you don't have an Anderoid, iPod touch or an iPhone, you have to get the device if you want a kindle.

I got a Kindle Touch  big_smile
I've just been downloading free books--Sherlock Holmes since I already was reading it, and some other stuff I can't remember now

Yeah, but Kindle has the cool lighting thing so it isn't hard on your eyes like most screens are
