When is It Time to Buy a Kindle? With the constant hype that has been surrounding the Kindle of late, it has made me start thinking about the possibilities, since it seems I'm running out of room space to store my books. I like to purchase books pretty frequently and it seems that my house has become cluttered with them. Within a matter of weeks, it's likely that I may have to consider purchasing a new bookcase, but I know that I'm not going to. It has recently dawned on me that it'd be significantly cheaper for me to purchase a Kindle 3 device than purchase a bookcase that is likely to fall apart on me before I finish assembling it. The Kindle 3 by Amazon is so lowly priced, amazon kindle (amazon.com) that I'm likely to immediately save money when I purchase it instead of buying a new bookcase. It sounds like the best option for me, plus it will leave more room in my house for me. With the Kindle device being priced so low, it has become ever more convenient for me to go out there and purchase one, ensuring that I will never have to waste my money on the conventional paperback books again. With the latest Kindle model, it's possible for you to store in excess of 3000 books on it; the equivalent in wall space is simply unthinkable. Another thing that makes it worth purchasing is one's ability to gain access to over 1.5 million books, free of charge. All books that were published before the 1920s have copyrights that have expired, enabling you to download them to your device free of charge. That should be more than enough reason for me to invest my money in a Kindle 3 device.
