I
did it! I purchased the Kindle Paperwhite. Although I am in the middle of The
Sins of the Father I switched to a book via the e-reader. As you all know, I very
much enjoy Lisa Gardner's detective thrillers. I figured I should purchase one
of her books for my first Kindle reading experience as I know I would enjoy the
story and hence may get use to e-reading. If I hated the first book on my new
toy, my Kindle experience could have been tainted. I finished Alone last night. Reading on the
Kindle isn't terrible. There are both pros and cons.
I
prefer the feel of an old fashion book. I am not fond of reading from a
computerized screen. I like knowing exactly how much you have left to read by visually seeing and paging through rather than a percentage of the book completed. I enjoy going to a bookstore to browse versus reading about books on-line. However, the ease of purchasing books
from Amazon with a quick search and click is a luxury. I love the dictionary
feature, although this first read was not comprised of challenging, foreign words.
Finally for my upcoming travel adventure or possible jury duty in late August,
carrying one very light machine opposed to numerous books is extraordinarily
convenient.
