My Amazon Kindle

11 January 2010 145 views One Comment

I finally got an Amazon Kindle!  It’s great, it’s amazing, it’s portable, it’s convenient, it’s cheaper than going paper and it’s environmentally friendly.  Because I am so passionate about reading and literature, it’s the perfect solution to travel and lack of space in Hong Kong.  To be truthful, it’s not very common in Hong Kong -  I was riding the MTR today and everyone was staring at my darling kindle - probably wondering what on earth it was I was carrying. 

Why should you consider getting one?

  • E-books are cheaper than print (especially for US and UK published books in Hong Kong)
  • You can “share” books with your friends (on loan)
  • You have global wireless (for free)
  • It’s portable
  • It can hold 1000+ e-books
  • Free up your shelves to hold more junk (or more important things)
  • It has a 3 week battery life without wireless
  • It’s thin and convenient to carry
  • Far easier to read than a book - you’re pressing a button rather than flipping pages
  • It can even “read” to you (through headsets for privacy)
  • Simple to use interface keeps it simple

Need I say more?  GET ONE!!!!  Seriously, I love it!  I just need to buy a cool case to protect it.   All for a smacking price of:
