Reading books today

My phone has the kindle app on it and that allows me to read digital versions of books. The digital versions of books are cheaper than the real thing. My phone weighs less than 200 grammes, Some of the books I read on my phone weigh more than 1 kilogramme in print. This means I can read heavy books with one hand and carry a whole bookshelf of books in my pocket. My phone has a back light so I don't need a reading lamp and it remembers the location I was at like a robotic bookmark that puts itself in the page for you. The smart phone has revolutionised how we read books. There is one device that I really think is cool and that is the kindle paper white. The kindle paper white is a black and white screen tablet for reading kindle e books. The screen imitates printed paper and does not use power to keep the screen updated so the tablet can go on for weeks without being charged. I would like to have one. There was one on display in a technology shop and I saw it with my own eyes. I love the feel of it and how it looks like real printed paper but when you flick your finger the page changes. When I next go to Pound land (shop), I will get a money jar and every time there are pound coins in my pocket I will put it in the jar. When the jar is full I will open it and use the money to buy a kindle paper white.
