I’ve been reading with my new kindle 2 e-reader for one year. I pre-ordered it when Amazon announced it started to accept online booking. The reason is simple: I just can’t wait for having it. I looked at my bookshelf, more than fifty percent of books that I never finished reading and they almost never had been revisited. Even among those completed, I was not so confident that the information and knowledge delivered by writers was not misinterpreted by my mind at that time. Most of those misunderstandings persist in my mind. This lack of reading efficiency for me is due to two facts: too much short-term personal goal, and limitation of paper books. I’m not going to talk short-termness in this blog but limitation of traditional paper books is obvious: inconveniences of carrying with anywhere and anytime, less search, look up and analysis etc. software ability attached on contents authors delivered. Considering what value it would generate for me in the future of knowledge gaining, I would not tag its offering price as expensive. Rather, I would recommend to active readers and/or learners who should have one whether you choose Kindle or competitive products from other vendors.
