We thought about it long and hard. Yes we did. We don't often think about things this long or this hard, because it hurts. But sometimes, cogitations are necessary. We wouldn't be here at Bookbag if we didn't love books but we knew that more and more people were enjoying [[:Category:Ebook|ebooks]]. It was time to find out what it was really like to have up to 3,500 books in your pocket or your bag. 3,500! Yikes!
So we took the plunge and bought ourselves a Kindle each (the posh one, too). They've taken a long three years to find their way across the pond, but when you find out that Kindle books are outselling hardbacks stateside, there really wasn't any time to lose. We've bought some books, we've acquired some free classics. We've subscribed to some blogs and read some newspapers. We've even sent an email or two via our new and sexy technology. Here's what we think so far.
We'll confess we'd rather have seen the [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005890G8O/ref=famstripe_kt3g Kindle Touch] or the [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051VVOB2/ref=famstripe_kf Kindle Fire] available this side of the pond for Christmas 2011, but even so, we think this e-reader is a bargain at £89, even if it doesn't have the style or panache of the iPad and its bookstore. The tie to a trusted retailer is a big plus for us, too.
