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. Over the course of time I have also come to appreciate the games I play on it. :) But at the end of the day I love a real book - the feel of the pages turning, the smell of a book, the weight of it in my hand. However, I am grateful for my Kindle. It's backlit so I can read in the dark should I so choose. And on occasion I have until recently when I am reading in the dark pretty much everyday. I am walking on the treadmill in the early morning hours of each day and I can't turn on the overhead light because it is connected to the oldest redhead's bedroom. So it occurred to me - the Kindle! It's backlit so I can read while I walk. Perfect. 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. :)
