The kindle has become a big seller in today's materialized world. The kindle shows how technology is surrounding us. The hope is that the kindle will be the ipod of the book world. Personally, I would not invest in a kindle. I believe it would be pointless for me to carry it around all day and maybe only read a few pages of a book. I also prefer having the material copy of the book. The kindle sounds like a great investment but there are so many things you can do with a tangible copy of a book. You can look for and find quotes, you can highlight important parts and you can give books as a gift.
The kindle does have some pros. It is suppose to not hurt your eyes and you can carry multiple books with you in your pocket. Another pro of the kindle is that you can click on words you don't understand and it will give you a definition.
The kindle is a good idea but it doesn't have the same qualities as a real tangible book. I would much rather have a library of books than a kindle in my house. Real books seem to have a certain quality of intellegence to them.Overall this is another piece of technology that is being incorporated into our everyday lives.
