I recently bought a Kindle. This came about because I was not able to find good books in the nearby bookstore. So, traversing through online I noticed that books on Kindle were priced far lower than otherwise. So, I bought one and have read two books on it.
Considering that I was from the old school of thought who liked printed paper books, this deal is not all that bad. You get access to a good collection of books. For example, if you look up for some book it is there and there are 50, 000 biographies in it.
But the collection of free books is clumsy. When you begin to read the book, the book must have that pep in it for it to attract you. But the free books are not at all attractive and you somehow end up purchasing a book.
But the rectangular device to fit the palm has the advantage of the online collection. And reading from it is comfortable.
But it comes with a price 8000Rs, 14000Rs & 22000Rs. The price band differs with memory and other small features. But the basic one also comes with online memory to store books downloaded. So, it is all that one must need.
My advice is that if you have enough money to spend and if you can read enough books to avail of the discounts on Kindle books, then go for it. Else, our second-hand book reading is also not bad. But I just evolved.
