Why Buy a Kindle? Top 5 Reasons to Own a Kindle
Waiting for a great reason to buy a Kindle? Here are five perfect reasons to stop waiting!
1) You can purchase books at home!
There’s no need to go to the bookstore for new reading material. Simply log on to the internet and purchase a book from Amazon.com. Most books are available to preview before you purchase. You are able to virtually “flip the cover” in order to determine whether you will enjoy the book or not. You can read those same books at home, on the bus, in the car, and even on the beach! There are over seven thousand New York Times bestsellers that are available through Kindle’s wireless download service, with the potential for more every day. That’s more than many bookstores!
2) Books for your Kindle are cheaper!
Hardback books are being issued at higher and higher prices with many hardbacks costing as much as twenty-five dollars or more. Paperbacks are cheaper, but are issued later than hardback novels. Many people may wait for the paperback edition, but there’s no more waiting with a Kindle! You can purchase a novel immediately for a price that is lower than the cost of a paperback. Approximately sixty-five percent of e-books are less than $9.99.
3) A Kindle is more portable than traditional books!
The Kindle is smaller, thinner, and more portable than both a hardback book and a paperback novel. It weighs in at 8.5 ounces, and can hold up to 3,500 books. The Kindle’s battery life is amazing, lasting a minimum of seven days, and a maximum of one month depending on your Kindle model and your use of wi-fi.
4) You can change the text size when reading your Kindle!
If you have difficulty seeing, you can change the text size easily on your Kindle. There are fewer books that are printed in large print, but that problem is put to rest with a Kindle. Simply use your user settings in order to increase the size of the text to a point where you are comfortable reading.
5) A Kindle accommodates individuals with disabilities!
If you have a learning disability of any sort, a Kindle is the perfect device! For words that you don’t know, there is a dictionary function. The Kindle is also able to read English language content to you. It is perfect for those that have visual impairments and non-readers.
