  • Kindle V paper

    So my kindle kicked the bucket 10 mins ago...its only new so i know they will replace it...but its the 3rd kindle i will have had since june...I lost one, i dropped one in my daughters pool and and now this one went belly up and lights out.... ive sorta decided enoughs enough.....i'll send for the replacement...but i think im going to resume reading a good old fashioned paper book..when i go out today i;ll head over to the book store and have a look around..im excited actually to chose a book by cover, reading the back of it....getting the feel and smell of it.......is this crazy....

    Im wondering too is it possible lol..cos we get so used to using the light easy gadget.....anyone else flip between the books and kindle?

    I have never used a Kindle but I get enough of flipping between reading the papers online on my tablet and actually reading a god book. I prefer to hold a good paperback or hardback novel in my hands. I can go to the library and borrow a book or two or as I have done in the past 20 years buy the latest bestselers and paperback novels are cheaper than hardback ones too.

    What make were the Kindles that gave your trouble Helen?
    UP THE DUBS!!!

                    too funny anto.... your kobo sounds pretty expensive to me..mind you to get some peace and quiet you can swallow the expense hehe

                    yea i picked up a couple of paperbacks at our big book store chapters yesterday..,when i came home with them one of the girls was here and she goes....why did you buy them youd have gotten them at least half price in costcos up the street...well im not running all over Toronto to save a penny so i kept my books and im happy....i didnt have time to start one yet....but i felt so happy in the store looking at the books...reading....oh i also sent away for the new kindle its supposed to arrive tomorrow..but i wont be using it for a while anyways while im reading the stuff i got yesterday..
