So there is a huge buzz about the Kindle and how convenient it is to store books, and although I think it would be absolutely wonderful to not have stacks of books scattered around my 10by10 room, I cannot, and I don't think I ever will be able to bring myself buy one. Here is why...
1) I take online classes for school and look at a computer screen for very long periods of time, writing papers, watching lectures, writing in forums, taking exams, quizzes, and test.
2) Probably about 35%-50% of my job requires me to sit at a desk and work on researching for events, planning, emailing, scheduling, facebooking students, creating flyers, updating material, etc.
3) I have bad eyesight, and I am convinced that the longer and more often I look at computer type screens I'm only hurting my eyes further.
4) Lastly, I simply like to hold a book in my hands...and although it sounds weird...I like the smell of books. Libraries...make me happy. :)
So some say burn the books, embrace the kindle...I say do with the kindle what it's name implies. BURN IT!
