Ode to my Kindle


I don't have an iPhone. I have a Kindle.
 
My Kindle can't call people. It can't surf the net. It can't take pictures. It doesn't have a GPS. It doesn't even have any cool games. In fact, it has all sorts of design problems. And it looks very, very low tech.
 
Why did I buy this stupid thing anyway? Why did I buy it when it cost me more than what an iPhone now costs?
 
I bought it because now that I have my Kindle, I can go to the beach, the park, the coffee shop or the toilet, and I will always have plenty of reading material. Now that I have my Kindle, I can read one or two or 20 books all at once and the end tables next to my couch and my bed don't end up cluttered. Now that i have my Kindle, my library fits in my hand all day long and my house has a whole lot more room (my wife loves that).
 
I love my Kindle.

That sounds really cool. What are they going to come up with next?
