Cool. Will have to grab it for my Kindle when I get home.
(My refurbished Kindle! We loooooovessss it, Precious! I cannot believe I went without an eBook reader all these years!)
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Isn't it crazy? I was totally anti-Kindle...until I got one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to remember my stance--there must have been some reason it took me so long--but, fuck, I love the shit out of my reader. Even when I'm not reading, I'm loving.

When I'm fiddling with my Nook it's like sitting in a big pile of books--I open things and skim a couple of pages, then put it down and pick up something else and skim a little there. It's wonderful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The first gen Kindles were so fugly I couldn't imagine them being pleasant to read on. Then I got a cheap used one and got hooked on the convenience.

I love my reader apps on my tablet. I get to choose from hundreds of books to read on my lunch hour without the back ache of carrying the paper versions with me.

When my Kindle was stolen, I discovered that it was actually pretty neat to read on the Kindle app on my phone. It's like I'm carrying all these books with me in my pocket!

I have my Nook, tablet, and phone on me most of the time, but I do tend to grab for the Nook to read, even if it involves putting the tablet away. I prefer that experience, black and white as it may be.
But knowing I got my shit...great.
It would be great if I could still full text search, though. I swear I used to be able to do that...

I don't actually have a Kindle, it's all the app on my phone, and I LOVE it. I am never without books to read!

I use the Kindle app on my phone mostly for knitting patterns.
