Warning:  This is NOT an unbiased report !

Are you an avid reader?  Is your suitcase or back pack often loaded with cumbersome books or magazines?  Do you trek outside each morning for the newspaper?

Amazon has created an electronic book that has revolutionized the way we read.  For around the same price as a dinner for two at an elegant restaurant, you can carry your books, newspapers and blogs with you. The Kindle weighs less than one pound.  It is an easy read, and here are some of  Kindle’s qualities that I enjoy the most:

• Look up words as you read

• Lighten your travel load – I often carry it in my purse

• Books usually cost $9.99 – a major savings factor

• Carry your entire library with you

• Order and receive a book or magazine in less than a minute

• Take notes (bookmarks) for future reference

• Change font size when your eyes are tired

• Save paper – Go Green

• Speed read with equal clarity

Amazon reports that currently there are 367,136 books online, 58 newspapers, 37 magazines and 7,328 blogs.  These numbers are growing everyday.

Okay.  Enough raving.  Any downside?  The single one I have found is sharing a book with a friend.  The only solution is to either order or go to a bookstore and buy it for them.

Having used the Kindle for a year and a half, I’ve forgotten what life was like before I had it.  It is part of my daily routine that would be hard to live without!
