Kindle

I bought myself an amazon kindle back in January for my birthday. I knew I would have to travel a lot during the year and I just hate to bring weighty tomes with me when I also have to carry my suitcase and laptop bag. I went for the newest version then and it is the 'Kindle Wi-Fi 6" with E Ink Display'.

After more than six months of use I can confirm that I love my kindle. It was the absolute right choice for me and the first thing I did - obviously after charging it for the first time - was downloading a bunch of free ebooks. I downloaded the entire Jane Austen collection (German link / UK link / US link), Oscar Wilde (German link / UK link / US link), and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection (German link / UK link / US link). The links will guide you to the entire collections but you can also download single editions for free. Actually you don't need a kindle to read amazon's free ebooks, you can also download the free reading app and you'll be able to read on your computer. Did I mention you can read pdf files on your kindle, too? No? Well, now you know, I think it's ingenious, I use it to read my papers for work and it works really well.

I bought a faux leather case for my kindle very cheap on ebay and this way I carry it around with me everywhere, alright, I don't take it with me when I go for a run.

I'll leave you with a couple of images from my last train journey up North. I just love the sky.

Do you use a kindle? Which eBooks do I need to download?

Have a good week!
