[Sydney's Mom]

I save gas because I no longer pick up books at the library. I no longer crawl on the floor to see the books I have double-stacked on the bottom shelf of the bookcase - I just browse Calibre to find my next book. I can read while I am doing my charity knitting (I used to not read from January to October). If I finish a book while I am on the train or an airplane, I have approximately 300 more books to choose from. I can jack up the font while I am reading in bed, and turn down the light. Once again, I can read until I fall asleep, and don't have to worry about the noise of pages turning waking up my husband.

Most importantly, I always have a book with me. I purposely buy bigger purses (I'm only 5'2") just to hold my kindle. The first time I went to pick up my daughter at school and was sitting in the car lane and remembered I had something to read, the kindle paid for itself in my opinion.
