I have a love/indifferent relationship with my Kindle. I bought it originally because I knew when I went overseas I couldn't take a bunch of books with me, the Kindle (or any eReader) solves this problem. So I got it for our trips.

And it is perfect, I'm so grateful because I need something to keep my mind off the walking and listening to music or podcast wasn't going to cut it for me. :)
