A Girl & Her Kindle: A True Story of Book Borrowing, Buying, and Loving
I’m a Kindle owner. Most of the novels I read these days are in electronic format. My brain likes e-books, as does my back and my budget.
I’ve taken my Kindle to book clubs, answered questions about it on the subway, and found myself in countless conversations about the aesthetic and economic implications of the growing e-reader market. I’ve stopped being surprised at how passionate people are about their reading preferences, their fears about the digital future, and their suspicions about the pleasures of reading electronic ink. I think these are exciting conversations to have, and in the course of talking so much about e-books, I realized that even though I’ve always been a book lover, I stopped being a book buyer a long time ago. What’s more, I’ve realized that I have a much more enjoyable relationship with e-books now than I’ve had with real books for years. ok
