I used to go on a cruise with a stack of books/magazines. Now I carry my little Kindle which has hundreds of books on it. I can adjust the size of the font and the brightness, based on the environment and lighting. I can read in bed without keeping the hubs awake. I can look up a definition by tapping a word. I can make annotations. I could go on and on.

Kindle is one of those truly amazing devices that can only be fully appreciated when you have one in your hands. Are there situations in which a printed book is preferable? Of course. A Kindle will never take the place of a coffee table photography book, for instance. But for most books, Kindle is the way to go.

Try it. You might like it.
