Last week I had to travel cross country. On the plane I saw two people reading. One with a conventional hard cover book and the other with a Kindle reader. It was an interesting study.
The person with the Kindle took out his Kindle and started reading. Throughout the flight he changed from one book to another and even had some articles and magazines on it as well. It was easy for him to change and he seemed to enjoy going from one thing to another.
The other person with the hard cover book was amusing in some ways. We all know how cramped airlines make it these days and every time this poor fellow wanted to read his book, or something else, he had to twist down to grab his carry on, twist it up and out, dig through it to find what he wanted, and then go through the same thing again to put it back. It seemed to be an effort and not a pleasent one at that! Plus, the people on either side of him did not enjoy it either……
Life should be about making things easier not harder and often the cost of doing so makes something well worth it. In this case, the cost of the Kindle, which has been reduced by the way, made this passenger, and those around him, happier and made life more convenient. It might seem like a trivial thing unless you are the people involved.
It’s something that you dont even think about when you have a Kindle…………..
