Just the other day, some of us in the office were talking about how far we've come in terms of technology. There are still plenty of us who remember what life was like without smartphones and GPS, having to navigate our way around town with a big ol' map book on the passenger seat, having spent a good chunk of time writing down the directions.
The same schlep could be said about simply ordering a pizza - you had to do it over the phone, and man you'd be bummed if they misheard "avocado" and added "anchovies".
It only makes sense, then, that the simple pleasure of reading would find its way into the 21st century. Sure, there is a classic nostalgia to enjoying a well-read book, but have you ever tried carting a copy of War & Peace with you on holiday? That thing could see you charged for extra baggage! Lose the weight and ease the nostalgia and check out our main deal, a Kindle. It just makes sense.
