Thirdly, I wondered what was the point of buying a kindle. I love books and everything related from the smell of the printed paper to the binding and the placing of bookmarks in the book by folding it on the corners. It was the entire sensory experience of reading a book that I loved. However, after a lot of foresight and forethought, I finally bought Kindle. I started reading it every night before sleeping, the way I’d do so with my normal books.

It was later I realized how important the Kindle is to me. It became an addiction. I could not sleep without spending a good fifteen-thirty minutes without being enthralled by it initially. This was just the beginning. Soon those minutes turned into hours and I was eventually spending 2-3 hours on the kindle. In the next 2 weeks, my involvement with the Kindle had transformed into a deep-rooted love-from 15 minutes to 2-3 hours. Things did not stop there. I loved the way I could carry the kindle in my bag without overburdening it.

Soon, I started carrying it everywhere I would go. I just couldn’t stand the idea of being bored. If I would get bored, Kindle would come to my rescue. I was that addicted to the device. I love the device primarily because of the convenience it offers of not just reading it but for being my respite from the real world. There are times when I am down and out; when I don’t feel like talking to anyone. When I feel that I need to be left alone. That is when the Kindle comes to my rescue. It is my favorite companion and my solace from the miseries of the real world.

The best part about it is that it is hassle-free. Except for the initial investment, it costs you zilch in terms of convenience of handling it later on. It is wonderful to have a book handy at all times while waiting for a dentist, an appointment, or at the spa. Anything that requires you to wait, you can do with the kindle. Today I read while waiting in line while I am at the grocery store. Let’s just put it this way, Kindle has become an integral part of my being. It is a must accessory for me, it is an extension of my right hand and I am more worried to keep the kindle with me, than about wearing the right make-up.

I like the way the kindle hibernates with just a click once I am done reading. I love the convenience of reading up a word in the dictionary and then returning to my book while reading on the Kindle. Kindle has also made inroads in improving the speed at which I read. Now I can turn a page with a click. The most enticing part about kindle for me is the way it helps me make notes and highlights at the end of the book. It helps me share key points of the book with others, my review, and what I feel about it; vent out my frustration about a particular plot, or character or even pour it into why I loved that particular plot or character.

In short, Kindle offers me one of the most exciting and interesting reading experiences ever. (Walkman) My biggest amusement with the Kindle, which I have not yet unveiled has built up the tolerance level in me to pique through mindless plots and love stories without having to worry about people around me catching me reading a book with a trashy cover. No one has to know, what I am reading and why I am reading it. It offers me complete privacy and I love the most about it.
