I received a very surprise gift at Christmas - a Kindle.
I have downloaded and I am now reading Arthur Conan Doyle's The White Company.
I also ordered a cover/case right away. I already dropped it once (luckily with no damage) getting it out of the box (don't want to carry it around in a cardboard box, anyway.)
Nothing replaces the feel of a real book. I'll still get those, too. (just did a post-holiday Amazon order, in fact.) But having access to classics and out-of-print (hoping more and more out-of-print books get into the digital realm) make it appealing.
Congrats. Yes, I got the case right away, for the same reason. I've really enjoyed mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Charles.
ReplyDeleteAnother note: any book over at Amazon.com has a "tell the publisher you'd like this book for Kindle" click-link - if it isn't already.
I've already looked up and clicked a bunch of out-of-print books. Hopefully, I'm not a lone voice in the wilderness for some of the titles I chose.
I'm also really enjoying the inline dictionary for all these medieval, archaic terms in The White Company. Very handy.
