I ought to admit it; I’m a bookworm. I’ve been analyzing books for as long as I can, don’t forget. My first interactions with literature were furnished through my mother when she examined “Snow White” or “Sleeping Beauty” to me. Eventually, I grew out of the princess section, but I kept reading everything I may want to place my hands (and my eyes) on. Every ebook my older brother had, I study properly after he completed them. I, without a doubt, love books. So, when Amazon’s Kindle came along, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to exchange my paper print books for a studying tool. No pages to show? Not smelling the familiar scent of paper? Imagine the horror! And…Then I calmed down, rationalized everything, did my research, and bought a Kindle, and I like it.
If you are still not fully satisfied that analyzing your favored books in a technological tool is a good concept, read on, I’ll explain what this very cool machine can do for you (and the planet). Let’s begin with the fundamentals; what’s a Kindle?
