E-readers: a gift or a curse

Saturday, June 11, 2011 / Posted by Tha2ir /










Well, for those who don't know, my 27th Birthday was in February, that was about 4 months from now. I was extremely busty and depressed at the time to write anything. and it was also a very Quite birthday, just me and my Bueno in this oweful place called saudi arabia.
but I was happy though with my new present; an Amazon Kindle e-reader. Now, that was a really great surprise, my Bueno knew exactly what to bring me on this occasion.
So, it's been almost four months now since I've got it, I downloaded more than 3000 book son it along with some other songs to listen to during reading. but, I have to confess that I still fell something is wrong. I was really used to paper books, and it was one of my pure pleasures to visit the Bookshop and spend hours looking for my next new read.
Now, I miss that. it's much cheaper to download books, but it still feels that a part of me is missing, it was also a real pleasure seeing my Bookshelf getting bigger and bigger.
So, I started thinking back of buying books, or at least buying books that I liked reading so that I can add them to my books.
What do you think? I mean I really love my Kindle, but I still am unable to tell my Bueno that I will be buying some new paper books, because that was the reason she brought me my E-reader in the first place.

I liked the idea of e-reader, for me I love reading but I can't carry a book with me all the time specially with the tiny bag they gave us with the uniform :$
