Okay, so I know that there's probably a billion different blog posts on the Amazon Kindle, or it's various products including the Kindle Fire, PaperWhite and the original Kindle, so yep, I'm writing another one.
Just about everybody has heard of an Amazon Kindle, or owns one themselves. And if the figures are anything to go by - a staggering 64 million e-book purchases between January and September of 2014 (figures found in this article) - pretty much everyone will have read a book in their format, or know someone who has. If this is in fact true, then why do people seemingly scoff, or scrunch their faces up at me, when I tell them that the Kindle is my tablet of choice?
Kindles run on the Android system, just like the Samsung/Sony/HTC/pretty much anything except Apple products. Yet I know people who swear by Android as they 'cant get away' with using Apple products, but they still own an iPad that they treat like their baby, or an additional limb. So really, what is the issue?
Personally, I believe there are a number of things about it to make you fall in love with a Kindle. For example, it's the device that was created for e-books. Its initial purpose was to support PDF and e-book formats in the best possible way, to allow more people more access to their books on the go, rather than lugging their War and Peace novels around with them (believe me, it's actually pretty hard, speaking from experience). However, the thing I think I love the most about my Kindle (a Kindle Fire), is its versatility. One minute, it's a book, the next a game, or an App, or a different book! But then it becomes a film, or it becomes music. The only thing that my Kindle lacks, is a camera. However, that is because my Kindle is the version before the ones with the cameras installed. But that really doesn't bother me. I'm more than content just flipping between my apps and my books.
I think that's just about it for now. However, I will be posting again in the near future regarding my Kindle! Next time, it wont just be me declaring my love for an e-reader, it will actually be two posts comprising of the books I own on my Kindle, how much I paid for them, and whether I've actually read them yet!
Just a quick last note about those future blog posts - the unread HEAVILY outweighs the read books on my Kindle!

I've never thought about a Kindle. I'm too scared of breaking things like that haha.
ReplyDeleteBut the whole android thing is good - I'm a big android fan, I dunno why apple fans get so up tight about the brand.
xo
I don't know how I missed your comment - I'm so so sorry!
DeleteI'm a massive Apple fan as in I'm attached to my iPhone practically permanently, so when people get really picky about it I don't understand the fuss - I like them both, and you should definitely get a kindle!!!
