My childhood friend Suzanna once had a serious problem. She hates reading books! But loves listening to music. She can spend hours doing that. It's always a struggle for her to read and pass her examinations at school. One day, I decided to ask her why she does not like reading. Her answer was pathetic. She said in her own words "I don't like reading because, I get tired and bored easily, my eyes are stressed, holding the books in my hand is strenous, i hate going to the libraries because the volume of books there is scary..." On and on she went. I realised that i have to help my friend, if she must find direction in life. So, i resorted to go online and search out a solution to her problem.
As i was searching for reading devices online, i came across this wonderful product - Kindle 3G wireless reading device. I went through the reviews and these are my discoveries:
This product is a package of library on its own. The issue of going to the library and seeing the scary volume of books is erased. My friend can buy books online in electronic format at low prices. Over
610,000 books with their prices ranging from $9.99 and even less. She can also get to read over 1.8 million out-of-copyright books for free on the 3G kindle device. The sweeter part of the story is that she can
download them in less than 60 seconds and start reading. It has the capacity to store up to 3,500 books. What an amazing library she has there!
Secondly, my friend loves music, okay, she can listen to music she loves and still read. That will boost her morale. She can play music at the background while she reads. This is possible by transfering MP3 files to kindle to play. Yes this really helped her.
Thirdly, she can even browse free of charge, i mean free with no monthly fees or contract on this same Kindle 3G. She gets to connect with me on facebook and twitter and even share her favourite passage with me without leaving her kindle product.
She can even read in sunlight with no glare. The Kindle's screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in her living room.
What a relief! I got the product for my friend, and guess what! Within the space of one month, her reading habit changed. She could not stop thanking me, but i told her, instead of thanking me, thank Amazon for the wonder product.
