I swore to never buy a Kindle but the new release has me moving away from the bookshelf

Amazon first released their Kindle back in 2007 and I can remember reading many scaremongering articles at the time about how it could be the end of paperback books as we know it.

Fast forward more than ten years and I still haven’t bought one of the many editions of the Kindle, (with my packed bookshelves at home acting as my smug stubbornness to not conform to the tech), until now that is.

Does having a Kindle mean you can no longer have or buy paperback books anymore? A book is a book right? No matter what form you enjoy it in, it’s the words that matter at the end of the day.
