Do you miss the days when your mom or dad use to read to you before you went to bed? I know I do! Especially since I am on the computer reading all day. I also miss someone reading to me when I am sitting in a car for hours driving which means my eyes have to remain on the road.
There are some times where I would love to read a really good book about something funny or romantic and NON work-related, without passing out because my eyes are so tired. And I am not going to lie, I am way too lazy to go into a bookstore. No IDEA why!
So I found this Kindle Wireless Reading Device which I thought was amazing because it actually reads to you.
I like it! I'm thinking it might be a nice gift to give someone in college! It might be nice to carry this around rather than carrying 5 heavy books around campus.
