So many books, so little time

I love books. I buy a lot of books, more than I can read and they take up a lot of space. I love the feel, the weight, the SMELL of books. I buy a lot secondhand through thriftbooks. I will never give up on physical books

BUT...

Now I can read in the dark without eyestrain, read on my side in bed, read on the go without lugging around a book, read in the bath without fear of getting pages wet.

The best part: I got my new kindle on an Amazon deal. It was a "kids" kindle, but not REALLY. The difference is, it comes with a kids+ year subscription (includes some YA books which I'm a sucker for) which you gotta make a kids profile and PIN to use but whatever, it comes with a case, and it's got a longer warranty. To access your regular account you just exit amazon kids. It's only 8GB but I forsee ot taking a LONG TIME to acquire that many, especially since I try to stick to the free books and prime reading books and libby.

I was debating getting a kindle ereader for a long time (I was a skeptic) and even though I've only had it for a few days, I can sincerely say that I LOVE it. Best purchase I've made in a while.
