I love love I love being in love

with my e-reader!

Ten reasons pourquoi: 

1. Ease-- so small, so simple, so lightweight! A traveler's dream! No more backpacks weighed down with more books than clothes!

[that was about four reasons in one so let us proceed accordingly]

5. Reasonably priced.

6. Easy word look-up... this is perhaps my favorite feature. I can't get over how COOL it is just to tap on any word I'm unfamiliar with and find an instant definition.

7. Concealment-- ever been embarrassed to be reading a certain title? No longer.

8. Access to thousands of free books via my local library (perhaps I should write a separate KDL love-page).

9. Can read at night without bothering others.

10. I fly through books now.

I thought this was where they were going--

but no.

It was this:
