To Kindle or Not to Kindle...

Saturday 9 June 2012

That is the question.

It's my birthday at the end of the month (eeeek, not liking how quickly time flies, I can tell you!) and when my lovely family asked me recently if there was anything I would really really like, I instantly thought of a Kindle - but I cannot make up my mind!

I do love the feel of a proper book, but in terms of travel and laziness, I think a Kindle would be amazing! I have visions of going off on holiday with a much lighter suitcase having not had to make room for several actual books. And I might actually read on the train again rather than just listen to my iPod!

So I decided to throw it out onto the blogosphere and ask you lot for your opinion! Do any of you have a Kindle, and if so, what are your thoughts? I am oh so tempted, so any positive feedback will more than likely result in me biting the bullet and going for it - so let me know if I'm making a good decision :P

Hope you are all well :)

  1. I have a Kobo as opposed to a Kindle, and it's the best, really. So lightweight, you can go hands-free and laze around in bed, and they're so easy to read on. There's no glare from the screen or anything. They're just really simple and easy to use, and save so much space!

  2. I have a Kobo aswell, had it for a few months and love. Like you love the feel of books but have used the Kobo for when I'm travelling when I wouldn't have bothered with a book :)

    1. My thoughts exactly :) I've ended up going for the Kindle, although the Kobo sounds great too! I'm looking forward to getting back into reading on the train! x

  3. I'm a bit undecided, like you I love the feel, smell and just the whole thing about books *dreams of the library that the beast gives Belle* but if your travelling or going away etc you don't really want to take a load of books with you or even carry one sometimes so I have used my blackberry play book. So really it's nice to have both options

  4. A bit late to the party but hopefully you decided on the kindle. I've had mine for a few months now and I love it. I dip in and out of different books depending on my mood.
