Bob Dylan and E-reading

When E-readers first came out I was vehemently against them. "You'll never catch me with one! I want to sit down with a BOOK in my hands and turn the pages!" I raged.

Well, Bob Dylan nailed it - the times they are a changin'. I still love hard cover books but can see the wave of the future. Much as it bothers me, I can still see it is, after all, still reading. I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas thanks to my brother and sister-in-law. And, let's face it, I actually asked for one. Back when my ire started to turn, the first thing that made me go 'hmmm' was the fact if you wanted a new book to read, at midnight say, you just went to the book tab, then the 'store' and looked at titles - and then downloaded a book. You could be reading in as little as a minute once you found what you wanted. No getting in the car and driving to a book store, looking at books, deciding, driving home.....nope. I was a convert. I've already downloaded and read 5 books. Some were free, some were as little as 2.99. Others are more, but I'm staying with the more inexpensive ones that appeal to me.

Oh, and get this - I can download games as well. Things I'd heard of, but hadn't a clue what they involved, are now something to do on a break at work (if I'm not reading that is...). Angry birds? Love it, but I'm stuck on one of the levels. Fruit Ninja? I can slice with the best of them. So silly, but so fun!

So that's my latest blog post. And now - I gotta go finish another book on the Kindle....☺
