Why Kindle or any book reading app will never work for me
Confessions of a book lover
Duh! *Hides face*
I am not surprised. I saw this one coming.
Disclaimer: I hold no grudges against technology. I am absolutely in love with Medium’s interactive and amazing UX.
This has to do with my upbringing. Although I am a quitter of books, but I am not very fond of losing connection with old habits. I miss writing letters. I miss my old peaceful life. I miss visiting my nani’s (grandma) house.
Ah! I digress.
Give me one good reason for not using Kindle? It’s handy, it’s affordable. You can find every book there at half the cost of a hard copy.
My reasons are beyond these petty benefits-
- The smell of the book, its fresh pages- Can you get that in your K.I.N-D.L.E?
- Can you keep a hand-made or gifted bookmark in that electronic device?
- Any idea how you can store all the stories you have read so far in a bookshelf?
- Do you guarantee that your kindle is theft-proof?
- How comfortable will you be to lend your kindle to a dear friend when he asks you for a recommendation?
- Most important, can you sleep on your KINDLE?
Hah! I WIN.
Sorry for being pretty hard on you. But can’t help my old school ways.
This post is a part of challenge that I took. I will be writing 100 words everyday for 100 days. Day thirty eight is here. Thank you for reading.
