Gift for the New Year

I never imagined I would get such a thoughtful, wonderful gift from H.

For the new year, I received Kindle PaperWhite.
I had never used a ereader/ebook and the whole concept was personally new to me, though I had seen Kindle Touch owned by BIL.

I learned how to download free ebooks from Amazon website, and it was so thrilling. I have begun reading classics that I otherwise, would not. It is highly addictive. I guess, this is a wonderful way of reading and storing books.
This does not mean I miss the good old hard copy - the actual feel, smell of the book can never ever be replaced. The feeling of reading a 'book' can never be replaced by an e-reader no matter what.
