Kindle?

Today, Alyson was reading a book on her Kindle and I borrowed it to take a look. I really liked the screen of the Kindle because it doesn't strain my eyes as a computer screen would. In fact, I have been talking to my mom about getting one. Now that I've seen a real one, I want one of my own! However, there are still some disadvantages in reading on a Kindle, and am now going to weigh the pros and cons of getting a Kindle:

Pros: The more important factor that attracts me to the Kindle is that it can store so many books in such a reasonably light-weight ebook. It is also pretty thin which means its very portable. One other thing is that I heard e-books are much cheaper than normal books! That means I can get more books for the same amount of money, which translates to MORE BOOKS TO READ!

Cons: Its still not a book. There is just this nice cozy feeling when you read a paperback novel on your bed before going to sleep. You would never have the same feeling is you were reading it from an ebook. Ultimately, its electronic, and you don't get to literally turn the pages or mark your book with highlighter to pen (even though you could add marks on a Kindle, I think?) Also, all book would look the same. Same fonts, same thickness, and no book cover. I can really irritate me because I'm so use to identifying books by their covers. (I can even be accused of literally judging a book by its cover. I know its wrong, but some covers just make certain books look more interesting.)
