Kindling

I've always been on the traditionalist side of the e-book debate. Economy, environmental conscience and practicality all support the dawning of the Kindle, but I can't shake the fantasy of running a second-hand bookshop or having an enormous library in my future home.


Nevertheless, when moving to a different country with only a 20kg suitcase to one's name, practicality rules. At the end of my freshers year, while moving out of halls, I managed to break a family suitcase after filling it entirely with books. Thus the necessity to wear clothes at some point during my year-long placement and the sudden realisation that French libraries might not have a fantastic range of English literature has necessitated my decision to buy a Kindle. Watch this space to see if I ceremoniously burn it on the instant of my return.

Lonely, lonely Kindle.

Now: Classic or Touch?
