Being a bookworm by nature, I can be found reading my Kindle Fire, a classic paperback novel, or the Kindle app on my iPhone!

The Kindle Fire I currently own is my second Amazon Kindle product, and I really like it. I leaped onto the first Kindle reader because I loved the idea of having all my favorite/current reads on one device. (I was the girl who brought an extra bag of only books to the beach.) I daydreamed of long car rides, plane rides, or doctor appointment waits, and knew I had to have one.

That being the case, I know I’ll never tired of the printed words. I like the feel of paper books. Some I like to underline and make notes, others I enjoy ‘dog earing’ my favorite pages to access them quickly. As great as the highlighting tool on my Kindle is, sometimes it’s not the same as with a paper book.

Also, to be honest, I already spend a good part of my life looking at screens, so sometimes I crave the physical element of the written word.

Both have there elements of awesomeness, and both have a place in my life.
