Kindle is slowly growing in popularity. The nice thing is, you can download a new book the instant it’s released. Imagine not standing in line to get J.K. Rowling’s latest and greatest. And it’s cheaper than a new hardback. The biggest thing it has against it, though, is it’s form. Holding a machine to read a story doesn’t have the same comfy feel as holding a book. However, I think it’s a great step in the “going green” revolution. Think how many trees will be saved. On the other hand, more carbon dioxide will be produced as a result of the machines. Well, it’s better to have more trees in the end, I think, for a greener world. I have yet to get a Kindle. The problem is, I do far more writing than reading, so it’s not cost effective for me at this time.
