As my mind was wandering this morning, which is often does, I wondered, what if the government said you could own a Kindle or a Smartphone but not both. Having both would be a felony. Hey, if you keep track of the laws in the U.S. nothing is too ridiculous to be true. In the city where I lived it was illegal to carry and lunchpail in public and in the state eavesdropping was a felony.

Anyway, I'm deaf and don't take phone calls but I love my calendar on my phone, and messaging, and having access to the internet to find answers to questions.

But, given the choice, I'd keep my Kindle. I've been a compulsive reader for 70 years and don't want to change now. I live in southern Mexico and read in English so my Kindle is my lifeline.

What about you? Kindle or Smartphone. I have to admit I've never seen anyone walking into on-coming traffic reading a Kindle.
