I'm a book aficionado. I just love books. Our house is filled with thousands and thousands of books. And I have a Kindle. 2 Main reasons:
(1) Travel. Going on a trip used to involve careful selection and (for longer trips) substantial packing weight and volume (I travel light), now I just take the Kindle, and don't even have to buy the books i want to read in advance
(2) Pint quality. I read lots of paperbacks, and frankly, the print quality on some of them has become so atrocious that it is almost impossible to enjoy the read. Blurred tiny prints on flimsy but coarse grained paper are no exception.
Still love the physicality of books, but i succumbed to the practicality of the e-reader
- gentleteblor 10y agoAmen to that. My eyesight isn't the best, and Ebooks are a god send for being able to read in large, clear print. I'm reading a paper book now (Fortress Draconis, ebook is not available) and I find myself squinting for hours at a time.
- anotherevan 10y agoI recently set my dad up with an e-reader because the thing he was most excited about was being able to adjust the text size for his poor eye sight.
