Now that technology has reached new heights, some mundane everyday things that we used to do – like reading books – has become a thing of the past. Now no one wants to get into the hassle of carrying books here and there, flipping pages or making space to store books. One can just download it and read it once or as many times as we like. This is also known as an e-book or an electronic book.
When one talks about an e-book the first thing that comes to our mind is Kindle. Kindle is basically a digital book, it is a separate device that only features text. The unique selling point of Kindle is that visually it does not look like a screen, it looks like paper so it would not hurt the reader’s eyes for looking at the screen for long hours.
Now, there can be many reasons as to why you would not want to buy Kindle since it is an expense, not too big, but an expense none-the-less. maybe you are not an avid reader but like reading sometimes, or maybe you are not used to e-books and do not know whether you would like reading this way. Maybe you want to get used to reading e-books a bit first, before going in for Kindle. Maybe you think that Kindle would be another device you will need to take care of.
