I still remember the time, not so long ago, when I used to like reading. I was a huge fan of the bookworm club when I was in primary school. Always very excited when they come to conduct roadshows at my school. Sadly they are no longer in existence though. I guess their style is no longer appealing to the newer generation?
Next in line will be detective series like Famous Five, Secret Seven, Nancy Drew and my all-time favourite Roald Dahl to the more sinister Sidney Sheldon.
The main reason why I got to know about Sidney Sheldon and starting reading his titles was because I wanted to improve my English. Sidney Sheldon was recommended by a fellow sailor who warned me beforehand that his novels are a little rated. Sidney Sheldon’s books are really well-written and intriguing, just rated. It’s just his style I guess.
And when I entered Junior College, the direction of English changed. It was all about General Paper. So I switched from the above to Time magazine, Newsweek, Reader Digest and National Geographic. Yes, the heavier stuff.
When it came to University and work, reading is further limited to only technical books and Google. Self-improvement books…well, I did buy some…when it comes to reading them…*sheepish grin*
Don’t get me wrong. I still love reading. To me, books hold infinite wisdom. A biography provides us with the wisdom the author gathered over a lifetime. Saves us from making the same mistakes. Self-improvement books increases our awareness and provides us with different perspectives.
It’s just the storage, throwing away of old books to make way for new ones, dust, oxidation, etc.
So, when I saw my classmate holding the Kindle Paperwhite, my interest was aroused. Especially when he’s the irrefutable expert in technology and gadgets amongst us. Any recommendation from him will most probably be the best choice. In essence, he’s our go-to guy.
My impression? The Kindle Paperwhite display really looks like a page off a book. It’s super light & thin, making it very easy & convenient to carry around. Plus it fits nicely into the palm of our hands. And most importantly, it’s the recommended device for reading by the expert.
If you are still very much into reading and are looking to transform your experience into the digital new age, why not consider getting the Kindle Paperwhite? Check out the details & reviews below as well for a more informed decision 🙂 Don’t just take my word for it.
