maybe, just maybe…

I remember myself saying: “I will never get one!”, as I looked at some of the e-readers like the Kindle, the Nook. There is something about holding a book in your hand and turning it page by page. I feel as if there is this certain connection that you make with your book, you fall in love.

But the longer I thought about it, the more I realized that maybe, just maybe it is a good idea. Maybe I came to the conclusion when one day I picked up my purse and it felt like a fully packed suit case ready for a 5 week vacation. So, I finally gave in, and I was lucky enough to get it as a gift from my parents-in-law for my birthday.

It is an adjustment… you seem to be “turning the page” more frequent, and my head still does the motion of going to the left hand page after I finish the last word of the “spread”. Will I ever give up the hard copies? Right now, I would say- no. But that just might change, as every day I appreciate the lightness of my purse more and more, and my shoulders seem to love it too.
