It’s a good substitute for now, but when I have a house, then I can go back to buying good old-fashioned books to fill up the walls.

Ok I agree with the “you’re in taiwan and english books are really expensive” but otherwise, I bought a book the other day printed in 1895 for 10$. Will I be able to use that kindle 100 years from now? No. Probably not 5 years from now. But that book, is still beautiful and still readable.

Plus kindle has some weird copywrite protections, where they can erase your books from you.

I was looking at the readers recently b/c my sister is interested in buying one. I have the Kindle app on my iPod Touch and I love it. Definitely convenient for on-the-go lifestyle. Though you ladies have handbags for all this stuff. For me it has to fit in my jacket pocket.

I love physical books too much that I will never use this as my main reading source. I haven’t really figured out what to do with it yet.
