No More Books


Recently, Amazon cam out with a new device called the Kindle. Basically it is an electronic device that provides access to and stores books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs. All you have to do is get on it, buy whatever you want and it is downloaded onto your Kindle. Then you can read it whenever you want. Also, it’s wireless and works the same as advanced cell phones, which means that you have access and can download wherever you are.

I think that this product is amazing. Aside from the incredible innovation of the device, I think that it has many advantages. First, I personally think that the environment is very important and that we should do whatever possible no to harm it too much. Every year people buy so many books, read them once, and then either put them away or get rid of them. Whenever there is a book I really want to read I always try to go to the library to read it because it not only helps the environment, it is also much less expensive.

That is another benefit of the Kindle. New York Times Bestsellers and New Releases are only $9.99, and you can even read the first few chapters of a book for free before you buy it. I think that the Kindle just makes reading incredibly easy and accessible. The Kindle is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback, and yet it can store over 200 books. You can get new books wherever you are and don’t have to take the time to go to the bookstore. Also, there are different features that make reading easier for people to read. Like the fact that you can change the font size of whatever you are reading, which makes it easier for older people to read. In all, I think that this is a great new device that could totally change the way we read.
