First, let me be clear . . .
I will never give up bound books. I need the feel of them, the weight of a volume and the seduction of the tactile experience.
However, a Kindle can be very useful. And not just when travelling.
Saturday at midnight, I finished City of Bones, the first in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series. I had stopped by Wal-Mart earlier in the evening to buy the next two, but they only had the third. Which I didn't bother to buy, because I figured I'd order it from Amazon with my two-day free shipping and all would be fine.
Be warned: when you finish City of Bones, you will likely feel a compelling need to immediately begin book two, City of Ashes.
Before my head could explode from the absolute necessity of continuing RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT, I remembered my Kindle. Within thirty seconds, I was reading City of Ashes. At midnight. In my pajamas.
Crisis averted.
