Kindle

That's it! I'm getting a Kindle!

Don't get me wrong; I am a huge fan of paperbacks. Huge. But when you're down on one knee trying to pull up a fifteen-kilo bag of books (and realize that this is only Bag No. 1), something's not working.

The only thing that stopped me before was that not all books are on Kindle yet, so what was the point of buying a Kindle without the books I would want to read? The way I see it now, there are about half of all the books I want to read that are on Kindle, and if I can save the weight on them, my former argument loses hold. Besides, I hate that I have to choose between keeping certain books and giving others away just because they're too heavy to bring home.
