My reading has multiplied due to the sheer convenience of carrying this device around everywhere and having several books with me for every mood at any time! Well, its expensive in India at this juncture unfortunately, but I am sure you would have plenty of friends abroad, who probably wouldn't mind sending it to you from the US where its only around Rs 6000. Buying it from Amazon, and having it shipped to India will be more than double that amount.Richa Sonpatkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448555945318773375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694930.post-19933695872150227582011-03-01T00:57:48.221+05:302011-03-01T00:57:48.221+05:30interesting... for long I'm in double minds, w...interesting... for long I'm in double minds, whether i should go for it or not... i am definitely a book lover... by that i mean BOOKS not ereaders, for the sheer fact that I love the smell of books, the sound of turning pages...etc...which you dismissed calling foolish sentimentality ;)<br />one last query, how much doess it cost in India?<br />~R<br /><a href="http://rrajiv.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">I'm dying, but so are you all</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694930.post-40032204970159708742011-02-27T13:04:51.754+05:302011-02-27T13:04:51.754+05:30Lovely to watch and know about you Richa-you have ...Lovely to watch and know about you Richa-you have a lovely name.Arpanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603562370220704187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694930.post-25572206323454927922011-02-26T23:58:02.136+05:302011-02-26T23:58:02.136+05:30@Vikram: Welcome to my blog.

I just can't imagine like without paper books - their feel, their aroma, the browsing experience. But then, I guess, things are going to change, and like you said the convenience is for the better. You are right about our foolosh sentimentality too - it's time to move on. After reading this, I am thinking of getting a kindle now. Loved your blog too and am going to be a regular reader.<br />Regards<br />VikramVikram Waman Karvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00290102473130246523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694930.post-11208615931002199942011-01-20T02:57:22.167+05:302011-01-20T02:57:22.167+05:30@Tanvi: I know!

The next in line, would be I reckon, colored e-ink for the ereaders. Nook has already introduced this feature. I guess, it will develop the same way that black and white phones developed into color phones!Richa Sonpatkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448555945318773375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694930.post-47780276431066846182011-01-20T02:42:55.765+05:302011-01-20T02:42:55.765+05:30I agree with you...these devices are so handy too....I agree with you...these devices are so handy too..imagine stuffing a big fat book into your hand bag...its so annoying at times especially when ladies purses are as such eternally overflowing :) Infact talking of technology..even look at face time ..I mean so so unimaginable at once...I like the questions you have thought of for kid exams.Tanvihttp://sinfullyspicy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27694930.post-67201148974249855682011-01-19T21:37:57.502+05:302011-01-19T21:37:57.502+05:30@zephyr: You certainly should get one.

Since then, she is busy reading on it and me watchint TV news peacefully :). <br /><br />Jokes apart, it is a great device especially for avid readers like you, your mom and many more ( with hundreds of classics compressed in a smaller than a notebook size). Keep reading.
