Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 32GB with wifi... My New Love Affair!

September is Basic Education & Literacy Month at Rotary International so let's focus on the topic of reading in this short blog.

I have always been an avid reader since I was a young child. It was always me, cookies and books. I even told my family the titles of a few books I would like buried with me someday. Needless to say, they are not amused.  They often shake their heads at me, baffled at the words that spill out of my mouth. Quirky, girl, I know... but this gives you an example of my feelings when it comes to reading. Serious stuff, indeed.

Okay, so I went all out and treated myself well... very well! I finally decided to come out of the dark ages and delve into the electronic side of reading!  This past month I picked up the Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle which includes the Kindle Paperwhite 32GB with wifi, a leather cover in lush merlot, and power adapter.

​Oh my goodness!  It is so ultra thin and lightweight, I can slip it in my purse with no worries of it cramming my other goodies or breaking my arm trying to lug it around.  It's waterproof so I don't have to stress about it in case it falls in the tub while I'm reading.  In other words, it's Mary-Lisa goof-proof!
I love the adjustable light I am able to manipulate when I'm all cozied up in bed ready to read into the wee hours. It is equipped with a flush-front design and 300 ppi glare-free display.  It feels like you are reading on real paper! As I discovered all this, I inwardly screamed: "What magic is this?!!!"   

I loaded it with numerous books- and I mean loaded it- I've already read a plethora of books on it and the great thing is, I connected mine to Goodreads and enjoy updating my progress to my other reading peeps! Splendid! I have so many hardcovers and paperbacks and this is going to greatly reduce my need to add more bookshelves to accommodate my reading obsession. Bonus for myself and everyone else living with me.

​​I would like to emphasis...I abhor change...big time! I'm a self-professed turtle finding comfort in the familiar. But, I made this leap and I am happy I did so.  I cannot say enough about my new Kindle. It is a gem and I treat it as such.  Even has its own special spot near my bed.

There are different version of the Kindle reader out there and if you are hankering to pick one up, just do a little googling first to find the best one for your needs. Mine was around $200.00. As 2021 is evolving, I, too, am making an effort to evolve from my comfort zone and experience new things.

Read and read some more!

Cheers!
