FUTURE OF READING

I own more than thousand paper books in my library, and it took me more than ten years to collect most of them. A few years ago I got a Kindle almost stopped buying paper books, and collected more than two thousand books already. This is not the future of reading but present. In my opinion, Kindle is the most important book related invention since Gutenberg, Kindle offers better reading experience than any book can. It allows me to get immersed in reading holding and flipping pages with one hand, unlike books where I usually need a supporting surface to keep the heavy book and other hand to go to the next page. It is great to set letter size for all books. To be able to find a definition of unknown word within seconds. Not to worry about losing the place in the book, if it gets closed without a marker. In short - this is a great device, and no, iPads and other tablets are not books. Not even Kindle Fire is a good book. They are too heavy to hold in one hand and forget about it. They can't go for days or weeks without recharging, and they do not allow for easy page changing like original Kindles.

Here, you can see three generations of Kindle books. In the middle is my good, old keyboard Kindle. Twice the memory compared to other Kindles here, real keyboard for easy typing and more features than I use or sometimes want in a book. Second device is grey Kindle on the left. Similar to white, but without a keyboard and with less memory. It does have two advantages though. It is smaller and lighter even though it has exactly the same screen as the white one.
Last, but not least, is the new PaperWhite Kindle. It is most advanced of them all. It has internal light, and a touchscreen. Weight wise it is right in the middle, between other two Kindles here, and so far the best Kindle book reader ever.

If you like reading, and you do not have Kindle yet - you are making a big mistake. Go on and get it - you'll be surprised by the difference in the reading experience.
