One of the great things about the Kindle is the way you can download book samples. It's like going into a library, sitting and reading the first chapter or two of the books you like the look of, then going next door to a bookshop and buying the ones you actually enjoyed. Only you can do it from your sofa or the train, with just a few clicks.
The only problem with this is that over the last couple of months, I've collected about £50 worth of samples to read and decide whether I like them enough to buy them or not, and now I'm sort of dreading reading them, just in case I like most/all of them, because I don't have enough income to justify buying them :(
Another great thing: I've gone from reading maybe 12 books a year to about a book a week since getting my Kindle. I feel as if I truly deserve to call myself a bookworm again. Perhaps not as much as![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
