When I realized I'll have to take them home somehow (read: pay to have them shipped), it came to me how much easier my life could have been with an ereader... and I decided I wanted one.
Basically, the only one I had heard about was the Kindle... therefore I wanted a Kindle. I was really into getting one, I was reading reviews and looking at pictures and covers online. Then I told one of my friend's friends that and she was against the Kindle - she suggested something else (Sony or Cybook Orizon or something). At this point I actually realized I have a choice.
So, I spent my Christmas holidays researching and I chose to get the Sony Touch Edition in red. Then in I jumped into trying to find it for as little as I can and I realized I would be lucky if I found it. Period. Well, I got lucky and a few days ago my boyfriend's mother picked up the last one they had in their city, if Sony website is to be trusted. The last one in store at any case.
Now I wait. My boyfriend will come to visit me in Spain in 2 weeks and he will bring the ereader with him, and until he comes... I wait. And it's driving me crazy!!! I am sick at the moment, laying in bed and thinking how awesome it could be if I had my reader now.
There's nothing left for me to do. No reviews to research, advices to seek, decisions to be made. I just have to sit and wait and urgh! 
I just wanted to vent. 
Tell me I'll adore it, please.  |
Of course you'll adore it! I hope you feel better soon.
