Advantage: Kindle

One thing no one seems to have mentioned among the advantages of the Kindle: it lays flat. How many times have I tried to eat a sandwich while reading a paperback, and had to put the book down to take up the sandwich? Or pizza? Or any meal involving a knife and fork? Holding books open is often annoying. And newspapers – all the folding, spine snapping and the inky fingers. Deliver us from the third dimension, oh Kindle! Guide us home!

    Yes, but how do you turn the page while you’re eating? Scroll down with your pinky?

    I’m assuming there’s a page down/next page button.

    Then there is the app Aldiko.. why carry two readers when you can just have it on your phone?
