Why do some people deliberately use Kindle to read e-books?

Three years ago, I saw a colleague using a kindle, and I didn’t know that there was such a thing in the world. He used the cheapest one. I didn’t understand it at the time. It looked clumsy and ugly. It couldn’t install various apps or expand. It could only be used for reading books. It cost a few hundred dollars. Is it worth it? Can I download a reading app on my mobile phone or tablet and read books? Why waste money and add burden to yourself when carrying it. However, the ink screen left a deep impression on me.

A year later, I went on a business trip and forgot to bring my book. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I didn't want my time to be wasted like this. I suddenly thought of Kindle. I checked the relevant information online, and gradually became interested in it, so I bought a Kindle with the lowest configuration. I have been using it until now and it feels pretty good. Let me talk about its advantages.

1. It is easy to carry when going out. I used to travel frequently, and for long periods of time. I bought the largest suitcase. Because I like photography and the outdoors, I brought two cameras and some equipment, plus clothes. Every time it is full, so every time I choose from thousands of things and try to get rid of the useless things.

You need to bring books, but one book is not enough to read. Bringing too many books will weigh as much as a brick, not to mention taking up space. But a small kindle can hold almost more books than you can read in a lifetime, and its thin size doesn’t take up much space.

2. Easy to store. People who like to buy books will accumulate stacks of books over time, which gives them a sense of accomplishment. But every time I moved, I struggled to bundle up those books and move them away. The sense of accomplishment was completely replaced by trouble and fatigue. Many years ago, I moved frequently, and the heaviest and most labor-intensive thing every time I moved was the books. If you replace these books with e-books in kindle, you can put them in the compartment of your backpack and take them away.

3. Easy to read. Kindle comes with a dictionary, which is a very useful feature. When you read an English book and encounter a word you don't know, long-press and select the word with your finger, and the translation of the word will pop up. Not to mention that heavy paper dictionaries require turning pages to search, even ordinary electronic dictionaries also require entering letters one by one. For Kindle, it's just a click away. How convenient is that. Kindle can also underline text, and you can also see other people's underlines, making it easy to find the key points and final points. You will truly feel: you are not reading this book alone.
