People love reading books. But carrying them around is not much fun. As a book lover, I feel the same way. I’ve been reading ever since I learned how to read. As a kid my grandmother would read me a story before I’d go to bed every night. Thus began my love affair with literature. One reason why I love reading is because it expands the mind. It widens your horizon and gives you a new perspective on things.

Here are 3 reasons why the kindle is now considered the new library.
First of all, the Kindle 3 now has a 3GB memory. According to users this can hold up to 5000 books without crashing. Imagine owning this number of books! In paperback, you would need an entire library to store them. But with a kindle all you need is a couple of inches of storage space. Kindle 3 is only 1/3 of an inch thick. It’s practically thinner than a magazine. And it only weighs 8.7 ounces. For book lovers, a Kindle is a definite must-have. Not only will you be able to have access to thousands of books you’ll also get to carry it around easily.
Second, the Kindle’s screen is set to appear just like a regular paperback. It basically has a black text on white background appearance with no backlight. Unlike Ipad’s where you can’t read outdoors because of the reflection, Kindle’s can be brought anywhere. So you can read wherever you want: On the beach, in your backyard or at your patio. This makes for a great reading experience because now you can read an ebook without having to suffer from eye strain – like the one you get as a result from the glare of your laptop screen. One drawback is that like a paperback you can’t read it at night without lights.
Third, the Kindle has a text-to-speech and font resize feature. This means that if you are nearsighted then you can easily increase the font size to a size that you are comfortable with. You can also read in landscape if you wish. And if you get tired of reading then you can activate the text-to-speech feature and listen to the book. With the Amazon Kindle your reading experience can’t get much easier than this!

The first time I read about Kindle, I knew that this is a top notch future reading device. I love it even more than Apple’s product. I wish to buy one soon. Thanks for the information that you just shared here. It helps ::

I love my Kindle! I’ve read so many books on it that I’ve stopped keeping count. I still worry about dropping it or spilling something on it, but the price for e-ink readers is continually dropping so I know I’ll be able to get a second one without spending a ton. Eventually they’ll be so cheap that everyone will have one.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, and the additional features like saving your place and syncing across platforms make it even better for readers.

I love my kindle, too. Like Sharon mentions, I love how I can sync across platforms (and read a bit on my iphone while waiting for one of my kids). And I love never losing my place. I live in a somewhat rural area, so the absolute best part for me is the ability to get my hands on a book in moments.
