Comments on: The Single Life… On Kindle, That Is https://missystevenswrites.com/the-single-life-on-kindle-that-is Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:35:03 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jessica@Team Rasler https://missystevenswrites.com/the-single-life-on-kindle-that-is#comment-2670 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:35:03 +0000 http://www.wonderfriend.com/?p=4381#comment-2670 I got a Nook after my second son was born so I could read one-handed while nursing, and I fell in love with it. Since getting the iPhone, though, I tend to just read on the Nook app there or on my laptop, but have yet to try the Kindle app (even though I am a huge Amazon customer)! I thought I would miss the feel of a book in my hand, and occasionally I do, but the convenience totally outweighs it. I read books about five times faster if I have the ebook versus the printed one. Incidentally, I read the last two books of the Hunger Games trilogy on my phone and computer, too! I love this idea of Kindle singles. May have to check them out!

I love everything about them, the feel, the look, the smell. And for the longest time I refused to give in to the reader craze… until this Christmas and I got a Kindle Fire and I love it.
Kindle Singles… I haven’t heard of them but you can be sure that I have 4 new tabs open right now to check every link out you posted.

And I do love the bookiness of books. My dream house includes a study with an entire wall of books. But I know the day will come when I’ll get an eReader. And I’ll love it., I’m sure.

Ann Patchett is one of my favorite authors and I thank you for informing us about her e-essay. It was an intelligent and practical read.

(But mostly because I have a friend who buys books all the time then gives them to me to read because she’s too busy so I read them first and tell her which ones are worth her time. Really. It’s like being a free book-reviewer for just one person and it rocks. Steady.)

Anyway.

I am a fan of words in any way shape or form. So when I say I prefer real books, it’s with the caveat that I’ve never used an eReader even once.

So. Grain of salt?
Perhaps.

(no, i’m not british, but my excitement level definitely deserved a well placed british exclamation) i also love being able to sit in my comfy chair, browse the Kindle store (or find the sequel to the book i just finished) download, and read it all within minutes. it makes a book-addict like myself quiver with joy. books i pre-order are delivered the second they come out. i can even check my e-mail and facebook from my Fire. it’s just…. amazing.

yes, i love paper books- i just had my husband cover my entire living room with wall-to-wall bookshelves. (he built them himself) but my kindle? IS AMAZING.

Well, I guess they are all real, but you know what I mean… I love, love, love The Hunger Games!!! Can’t wait to see the movie in March.
