Ereader - Don't You Just Have to Have One?
It is no surprise that eReaders are becoming increasingly popular. After all people always love the thrill of owning a new gadget. But is there more to this device. Would it appeal to the book readers as well as gadget lovers?
When reading a good book, you not only reading it with your eyes, you are also feeling its touch and smelling its smell. There is something romantic about reading a book.
The eReader, on the other hand, seems to be just another electronic gadget that will complicate our lives rather then simplify them. I myself have always been a book person and never wanted to read off my computer.
I love the touch and smell of the paper. I love to reminisce what it was like to read this particular book for the first time 10 years ago, and where did that stain on page 143 come from. So, as a rule I was against any sort of electronic reading.
Everything has changed last Christmas. My parents got me an Amazon Kindle eReader as gift, and oh boy was I confused. What were my parents thinking? Did they know me at all?
But, let me tell you this. When I settled down and got a chance to play with the Kindle a bit, I noticed that it was a lot different than I was thinking it would be. The first thing that struck me was the display.
The screen of the Kindle, and of the other brands, uses eInk. This technology makes the page look as if it was real paper. I felt that I could almost convince myself that I was reading a real book, and there was absolutely no strain on my eyes.
After flipping through a few pages I came to a conclusion it was not as bad as I thought. And, since I like to travel a lot, this could be a perfect companion and my luggage could weigh a lot less.
Sure I will always have the comfort of my books at home, but when on the move this piece of equipment could become invaluable.
So, I guess I would have to conclude with a Yes. The eReader has a place in many homes. Not replacing books, but supplementing, and providing a solution in situations when a book is not available.
