To Kindle or Not to Kindle...That is the question. I absolutely LOVE to read! I love the escape, the adventure, the emotions that books provide. I have had the opportunity to borrow someone's Kindle to try out. I love the portability, the fact that I really can take it anywhere...but I think I actually miss paper. There's just something great and wonderful about holding a book in your hands...it's the texture, the smell, the sound of the pages turning that just draws me in. I miss bookstores...I miss books. Call me crazy, but I am a visual person and I love to watch the stack of books that I have finished reading grow. It gives me a sense of accomplishment, there's something tangible about it.
But, I also love the Kindle...until I am really into it and my battery starts dying and I'm not ready to to plug it in and put it down for awhile. I do love the thought of being more "green" and using the Kindle thus saving a tree or two yet still keeping my crazy reading habits intact. I also love the fact that I can read in bed without needing a light so that I can read as late as I want and not disturb the hubby.
So for now...I think I'm going to have to rotate between Kindle and "real" books. I'm just too torn between the two to decide!
I got the old Kindle out and have been using it instead of buying "real" books lately. I'm loving it! I have a feeling I'm going to have some empty bookshelves soon. :-)
