i came home to a surprise today. a new kindle waiting for me on the dining room table! now understand, i’ve been resisting this technology like i do most at first (it took me forever to give up my vcr). but after watching me polish off three books in a week, my environmentalist husband had enough. he’s forcing me into the digital age whether i like it or not.
as much as i’ll miss the smell of gently used books, the crease from dog eared pages and the satisfaction of turning that last page, i can’t lie. a few minutes of messing around with the kindle and i’m already hooked! gone are the late nights spent scouring my bookshelves for a book i haven’t read too recently, finding room to pack enough reading material to get me through the flight and thousands of dollars spent on overpriced books in the airport shops when i didn’t prepare properly.
next time you see me, i’ll be that cool girl casually flipping through the cyber pages of my new kindle.
