Hi folks. I just got my Kindle Paperwhite today, and I love it! My first book is a review copy that was gifted to me by an independent author - I'm really surprised at the high quality of the display. Even though there's so much light, it doesn't feel anything like reading from my iPad (which is what I'm used to). I'm so disappointed that it took me this long to put my faith into e-ink!
I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Arts in which my major is professional writing and publishing. My minor is Chinese (Mandarin) and I'm consider a double-major in politics or philosophy later in my degree. I'd ideally love to work with a major publishing house as an editor for back-catalogue OCR scans; I feel like there's a real market gap.
I think that so far, the best thing about my Kindle has been the ability to knit while I read.
