Right. Sitting in front of me is a boxed, unopened, new kindle (the basic one). I blame Amazon - they sent me a £20 off voucher, so I got it for £49.
I already have a Nexus 7, which I love and I sometimes use for reading via the kindle app (am working my way through the new Barbara Kingsolver and have a few samples downloaded).
Do I also need a Kindle? will it give me a better reading experience than the nexus + app? I am also in denial about the benefits of e-readers, being a bit of a book traditionalist, so part of me wants to reject the thing On Principal.
OR do I give it to my MIL for her birthday in a couple of months?! I think she'd probably quite like one and would get good use of it as she goes away a lot for weekends and holidays (although she's really not that great with technology...
)
SO - do I break open this bad boy and get reading, or hide it away for MIL??
