I consume a lot of printed content, especially books.
I’m always reading more than one book (frequently several) at the same time, because reading is my relaxation strategy and what I choose to read depends on what frame of mind I’m in at the time.
My Kindle has become a paradigm shifter, like my iPod. These devices enable me to read and listen wherever and whenever I want.
My BlackBerry is an important communication device, but my Kindle and my iPod are important to my soul, and that’s a whole other magnitude of importance.
If you were hoping to get a Kindle for Christmas,it looks like you're
probably out of luck, and it appears that you have Oprah Winfrey to thank for it.
But if you’ve decided to get one, wait until it is back in stock at amazon.com instead of buying another kind of electronic reader. The dedicated wireless link to amazon.com and the instant gratification of being able to download a free chapter or two from a book you’ve just heard about on NPR can’t be duplicated by any of the Kindle’s competitiors.
Yes it is
expensive – but so was your iPod when you first bought it, and think about the difference
that has made in your life.
I just downloaded a new, free application from the iTunes App Store called "Kindle" that lets me read any book stored on my Kindle on my iTouch/iPhone.
