I love my Kindle. Maybe we all a little spoiled in this country, wanting immediate gratification in everything, flying, cell-phones, computers, etc. Kindle is my much beloved tool. In a chair with only one usable arm, I could no longer hold a book or turn a page. I love reading. Kindle makes reading possible for me. I no longer drive, Snowmageddon has fallen on us in MD (over 2 feet!) and can't get out with others,within moments new books or samples are here for me. I read nothing for 2 years until I saved my money and got my Kindle. Kindle is such a wonderful tool for me I can wait a little sometimes. I once took walking and reading as a given until both were taken from me. I'm not trying to argue here, just want to point out Kindle is different for everyone, depending on your expectations and needs. It fills my holes. (obviously my expectations have out of necessity been lowered). When my computer seems a little slow, I remind myself I'm so lucky to live in this technology and despite my disability be connected to others all day. I can wait a little.
