I’m prone to exaggeration, but believe me when I say the Amazon Kindle is about the most amazing piece of technology I’ve ever held in my tiny hands. You must go buy one.

Seriously, do it. You’ll not understand how freaking cool this thing is until you own one. You’ll not be sorry, in fact, you’ll be addicted to reading again.

You know how you go through those phases of constant bookish-ness…then it fades. For me, it was always a matter of instant gratification. When I want a book, I want it now. The Veruca Salt in me is completely satisfied by the Kindle.

The Amazon Kindle is the kind of technology you can cuddle up with–yes, even with a cup of tea. It’s not heavy like all the Harry Potter and Twilight books you’re reading.

More good news: if you are embarrassed to be reading the aforementioned works, your secret is safe on the Kindle. No one can see what you’re reading.  So feel free to consume Eat, Pray, Love for the third time.

Best of all, the Kindle has a built-in dictionary. So when you come across a word that makes your head tilt, you can look it up on the spot! Oh, and don’t forget, you can even subscribe to blogs on it!

I’ve read four books on my Kindle this week–thanks to the holiday break–and I can say without hesitation that if I’m ever stranded on a deserted island, the Kindle is coming with me. True, I’ve been quite the Kindle skeptic the past couple of years; but, now that I own one (thanks, Dave!), I don’t see how I managed without this little book-nerd marvel.
