I had zero desire for an e-reader for\u00a0 a long time. I love to read, but not on a computer, I like paper and typeset and book covers. I am a convert though. Oh how I love this sucker! I love the cover with the built in light too, perfect for reading in bed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbc.com\/the-voice\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v317\/kenslove\/post%20pics\/the-voice.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"347\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I gave up on American Idol, when The Voice started I didn&#8217;t have high expectations. I was just going to watch the first show or two. It&#8217;s been a pleasant surprise, the contestants are all talented, and all participants come across as pretty decent, likeable people.\u00a0 Good entertainment.
