You must be living under a rock then, because Amazon has sold millions of kindles. They are not all kids buying them.
Kindle causes me to read far more than I would otherwise. A few reasons:
- Hundreds of books fit in a space smaller than a single physical book
- Can read at night without an overhead light bothering myself or anyone else (and without blue light!)
- Can travel (and/or move houses) without books taking up space
- Can download a new book in five minutes vs going to the store or waiting for a delivery. This makes it much easier to start books
- Can come back to a book I bought three years ago while living in a totally different place
Getting a kindle was the best decision I ever made in terms of encouraging myself to read.
- pnutjam 8y agoI read everything on my phone, because I don't want to carry another device. I sync things with my calibre server.
- jhbadger 8y agoI use both (and Kindle books sync your position between devices). It's nice to read on your phone because it is always there. But it is just more comfortable to read on a e-ink screen both because of the size and the fact that things like sunlight don't wash out the screen.
- pnutjam 8y agoWith a black background and Yellow or off-white text I have less problems. I also have a night text that is orange-ish or brownish if it's really dark where I'm reading.
