I love reading books and I buy 4 to 5 of them on monthly basis. One year ago, there was a lot of discussions about Amazon Kindle and ebooks. As a puritan, I was rejecting the idea of loosing the pleasure of holding and turning the pages of my paper book. But after the launch of the iPad, I started reading my first ebooks on its Amazon application.
The experience was good especially that I was able to carry as many books as I want wherever I go. Few months ago, Amazon who is the leader in the ebook market, responded to Apple by launching the new kindle. I saw the reviews on Internet and all of them were very positive about the new device. I immediately ordered one from the US to try it myself and I must agree that I am impressed by its reading quality.
Even if I still enjoy a traditional book from time to time, I have definitely shifted to ebooks after I got my Kindle.
Having ebooks on your Kindle has so many advantages:
1) You can carry up to 3500 ebooks, which is enough for a lifetime reading for most of us
2) The e-ink technology is comfortable for the eyes
3) The new kindle is very light : 241 g
4) The battery can last for up to 1 month
5) ebooks are cheaper than the normal books. If you read a book from time to time, this is not a strong argument, but if you buy 4 to 5 books per month, you can easily see the difference
6) Kindle price is cheap : starting from only 139 USD for the wifi version
7) Your wife or husband will not complain anymore about your growing stock of books which is taking a lot of place at home
Some people are still considering the Kindle, with its black and white screen, as archaic comparing to the iPad, which is true if you are looking for a multi-tasking device. But if you are looking for a pure ereader, the new Kindle is the best.
