I love to read. Reading as a hobby, however, can tend to get quite expensive especially if you are constantly buying books from Amazon, Barnes and Noble or even from a local used book store. One book leads to a second, and pretty soon you’ve bought the trilogy. There are ways that you can make reading a much less expensive past-time. Getting books from your local library, buying books online at a steep discount and borrowing books from friends are all decent options that all have their pros and cons.
As technology changes, so do a lot of the things we’ve taken for granted for so long – including even reading. In 2004 Sony released the first e-book reader with an electronic paper or e-ink display. E-ink displays are designed to mimic the look of ordinary ink on paper, reflecting light instead of giving it off like traditional backlit displays. It is easier to read in sunlight, and because the image is stable, it doesn’t require a constant refresh like other screens. Many, including myself, believe it gives a more pleasant reading experience versus a backlit display that can tend to be harsh and hard to read in sunlight.
