To ignite a fire within me

Almost a year ago, Miata Guy gifted me an e-reader, the Kindle. Yes, the Kindle is great for all the reasons seen on TV commercials, such as being able to store thousands of books, magazines, and newspapers, the lightness of the device, and the glare free screen. However for me, I love my Kindle for the following top three reasons.

3. I can lay in bed reading at night without bothering Miata Guy. The light attached to the hard cover protected sleeve is less bright than a nightstand light but bright enough to illuminate the entire screen. The fact the e-reader slides into the protection cover and uses the battery to power the light is pure engineering brilliance. I can also read comfortably by the campfire. No longer do I have to try to figure out how to hold my book and a flashlight/lantern at the same time. Which leads us directly into the next reason where

2. I no longer have to feel guilty returning library books to the library that smell like campfire.

1. The most important reason I enjoy reading my Kindle vs a book is that I can sit comfortably in my reading chair wearing my fleece pj pants and over sized t-shirt with The Mask lounging happily on my chest. With a book turning the pages while reaching over a 16lb purring beast on your chest proves to be more difficult than one may think. With the Kindle, with the press of my thumb the page is turned.
