I always meant to buy a
kindle, but I never got round to it. When they were first introduced back in
the day, I hated them. I was in my mid teens and I thought all bookshops were
going to shut down, and the world was officially over. But I grew up. I
realised that Kindles and E-readers aren’t replacing books in the market. That
they are convenient and cheaper and easier to carry round. I still adore paperback books and prefer
them. But the thing we’ve all come for is the stories. The stories are what
keeps me interested, not whether I’m reading it on paper or a screen.
But I never bought one. I
never could afford to just drop £50 or £60 on something I didn’t really need.
So when someone offered me a 1st gen kindle as they’d never used it,
I jumped at the offer.
