Just As I Wrote Just Minutes Ago...
Since I have nothing substantial to say because nothing ever happens in my life (which is a good thing, I suppose, considering what happens in other people's lives), I decided to, instead of writing something, you know, deep and interesting, just list next season anime series with my shortened opinion in one sentence (or two. Or three). I don't

I was thinking of a run-of-the-mill regular Kindle. I actually resent touch screens *lol* (I mean, I sort of got used to the touch screen of my new cell phone which isn't that new anymore but I can't say I'm thrilled about it) but if you say it's better, I might think about shelling out the extra euros. What about if you don't read? I mean, does the touch screen switch itself off or does it have a lock screen like a phone? Because if it reacts to cotton swabs it might react to other things in an average handbag? (yes, I'm totally clueless and, well, I live out in the sticks among people who have been using the same cell phone ever since they first got it in 1995 - no one I know around here has one. I suspect most of my co-workers and the top-boss don't even know e-readers exist...)
I wish there was a program to donate or trade in or something your old books and get the kindle edition, but...yeah right, you know?
THIS! The other reason I think of one is that sometimes books, especially British books, only get published as trade paperbacks instead of regular plain paperbacks and those things are a) horribly expensive since 16 £ can easily translate to 25 € when you get the Kindle edition for 8 € and b) they are like YA books - too large and too heavy.
However! I do actually know that many authors like Barbara Hambly or Judith Tarr tend to make their old books availabe as e-books and if I understand it correctly, you can convert anything to Kindle-readable data via Calibre. So, yeah, there's another reason =D
