Kindle

For a while now both Amazon Kindle devices and apps have been available. It seems though, certainly amongst people that I am in contact with, that the take-up started slow, but is now gaining real momentum.

In my personal experience, although I have been aware of Kindle since its release, I have only started interacting with the service in the last couple of months, but why?

I think for me, like many, I have a real romance with buying a book, feeling it, smelling it, having it proudly sat on the bookshelf, seeing it get worn as is loved over the years. I was, up until recently, in a place where I didn’t even want to know about Kindle books, because I didn’t see anything wrong with real books, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

But you see, in my situation something is broke, as in 6 months time I will be getting married, and from then on will be working in full time Christian ministry abroad, and guess what? My beloved collection of books are staying behind, not to be viewed by me for a very long time.

So why am I writing this post? The reason is this: the way I am seeing Kindle grow is quite remarkable, and I truly believe that it is only going to get bigger as time goes by. Therefore I want to challenge you to think about who you are, what you are about, and where you see yourself in the future, as looking at this will help you decide whether to switch your book purchasing to Kindle or not!

Here are some questions which I think would be great to ask yourself, just to make sure that you currently have the right stance on whether you should be using Amazon Kindle or not:
