Wordy Words on WordsLet’s talk about the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/kindle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kindle</a> for a minute.<br> <br> When the Kindle first came out, I fell in love. I’m a huge book guy, but books are expensive, big, and heavy. For a guy that moves a lot, they could be a problem.<br> <br> But here, I saw the solution. The prices could be way lower. Scarcity wouldn’t be a thing anymore. Textbooks could be cheaper and easier to navigate. You could keep a whole library on one device!<br> <br> But it took until the Kindle3G for me to be able to afford one of these guys. Now I have a Paperwhite but, honestly, miss the 3G for the ability to shop anywhere and PHYSICAL BUTTONS!<br> <br> The real disappointment was that the cost of books wasn’t that much lower and scarcity was still a thing. Old Marvel prose novels never (or at least hadn’t for years and I’ve given up on the idea) made it to the device.<br> <br> Which is RIDICULOUS. If I were a publishing house, every single thing I published would be available. They left money on the table.<br> <br> Anyway… King also seemed like a huge Kindle fan as his was one of the biggest voices used to push it and it seemed inevitable to me that he would write a story involving one.<br> <br> It also deals with the Dark Tower.<br> <br> The story is fine. It’s more a fun story about a Kindle and a chance for him to talk about authors - something he loves to do.<br> <br> It’s fine. It’s an interesting story.<br> <br> I wonder if King’s changed his mind on the Kindle. Besides bringing mine on flights and to donate plasma, I know I’ve gone back to physical books.<br> <br> What are your thoughts on the Kindle?<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/book?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#book</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookreview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookreview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookrecommendation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendations?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookrecommendations</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booklover?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booklover</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booknerd?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#booknerd</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookaddict?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookaddict</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookcover?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookcover</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/read?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#read</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wordywordsonwords?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wordywordsonwords</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readmore?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readmore</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readmorebooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readmorebooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofinstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readersofinstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reader?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reader</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/constantreader?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#constantreader</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stephenking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stephenking</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stephenkingbooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stephenkingbooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ur?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ur</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stephenkingfans?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stephenkingfans</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/stephenkingrules?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#stephenkingrules</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/darktower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#darktower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#readersofpixelfed</a>
