My Kindle is very high on that list. I love, love, love it. I try to spin it as a reminder to never say never as I was sure that I&#8217;d never want or need one. I&#8217;ve been an avid reader my entire life. I suck up words and imagery as if they were nourishment. I was sure that a gadget just couldn&#8217;t take the place of holding a book, feeling the pages, appreciating the fonts, the smell. I was wrong. I was so wrong that now I&#8217;m pretty bummed when I have to actually read a physical book. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I still have real books, ones that are precious to me or the coffee table books that are filled with art. But for reading, I&#8217;m all about the e-reader.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful for my Kindle because I can take it anywhere and I don&#8217;t have to find a place for all the books I read. I love the e-ink, I can read at the pool in the sunshine or in the dark and my eyes don&#8217;t get tired like they do reading on a computer or tablet. I love reading before bed and the light on my Paperwhite is fabulous. I can be in any position and I don&#8217;t have to figure out how to hold the book or turn the pages. I love being able to adjust orientation and font size. \u00a0It thrills me that there are so many bargains for Kindle, being able to buy a book for a few dollars or free is at least as good or better than buying a paperback, and I can check out library books too.\u00a0<del><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/keelyb-kindle.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/del><\/p>\n<p>In short, my Kindle rocks my world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SugarBabe Keely shares her gratitude for a favorite gadget.
