Re: My New Kindle
My wife is also an avid reader Bob, but she has made it quite clear that she doesn`t desire a Kindle or any other book reader. She finds the pleasure not just in the story but in the whole ceremony surrounding reading, from browsing through the bookshops and library, to turning the pages and being able to go back a bit and check something, to exchanging books with family and friends. Don`t you find the availability of everything online to be quite insulating from the rest of society sometimes?Re: My New Kindle
Re: My New Kindle
We've thought about Kindles, as we both read incessantly. We already have i-phones with loads of books on (including audiobooks), so we aren't techno-phobes by any means, but we tend to use them when we are away from home (mostly whiling away the endless hours in hospital waiting rooms). At home I don't feel that I am properly reading unless I have an actual book in my hand. For me, the look, feel and smell of the book is as much part of the pleasure of reading as the words themselves.Re: My New Kindle
My kid's wanted to buy me a Kindle for Christmas as I love reading, I talked them out of it as it is a social pleasure also, swapping books, chatting to people in the library... but my main worry with a Kindle would be dropping it in the bath, I love reading in the bath, paper can be dried, can an expensive Kindle?Re: My New Kindle
