I used to be a voracious reader when I was younger, going through 5-6 books in a week easy. Reading on a 5th grade level in 2nd grade, reading Gone With the Wind in seventh grade, reading, reading, reading. As I got older my reading slowed down. Why? Well if I read, I need a nice thick meaty book, one that won't take me just a day to read. And as you might guess thick meaty books like this, are not a pleasure to drag from here to there to everywhere. Too big to fit in my purse, too much hassle to carry it separately. Then even if I did carry these books around with me, what if I finished one? That's it, no more book to read. I am a very fast reader, so this is a real concern for me. So the only time I would read my books was before bed, and of course I fell asleep reading them! So the end result was that I don't read nearly as much as I used to. In the last 5-6 years, I have pretty much only read the Outlander series, which makes me very sad, because I love reading!
And in walks the wonderful Kindle. Problem solved! I can have several meaty books in one small package that fits right in my purse. I am in love. I haven't even had my Kindle for a full week yet and I have already finished 2 books, and am now working on Pride and Prejudice, and the best part is I know I have 3-4 more lined up once I finish (plus a whole store at my fingertips if need be!)
Anyway I am sure we all have our reasons for loving the Kindle, but this is my reason! Thanks for letting me share!
