Do you love to read books but hate reading books? Amazon.com finally has the answer for you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s called Kindle and it\u2019s described as a \u201cwireless portable reading device,\u201d where the screen is so realistic and glare-free, it\u2019s almost like reading a book. You can bring Kindle with you on long train rides, to class, the library, and anywhere else you can take an actual book. At $400, the Kindle is perfect for someone desperate to live out that book-reading adventure they could only fantasize about for years. [. . .]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You know what else feels like real paper and doesn\u2019t require cables or monthly bills? Fucking books.<\/i> [. . .]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Also, I know that when I go on long trips, I like to start reading a new book, get disgusted by its content and move onto another book immediately. I like to do this about 200 times, so I can see why the Kindle might come in handy. Further, it\u2019s only 10.3 ounces which is great. I can\u2019t tell you how many books I\u2019ve just thrown out the window because, at 15 ounces, the bastard was just so damn heavy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
