New Toy - Kindle Basic 7th Generation

Friends who know me know my love for reading fiction books, mainly romance and sometimes thrillers too.

When I was younger, the NLB is one of my favourite place to be in, be it after schools or in the weekends. I will always head home with maximum of 4 books as that is the limit they held for each library card then. Sometimes I will borrow my sis's library card just to bring home 4 more books. Heh.

I forgot when and how did reading become one of my favourite pasttime but I guess the interest grew ever since I turned to reading in order to brush up on my command of English. I have never stopped reading since then.

I always love a good read and seek solace in the world which the writer created.

I thoroughly enjoyed flipping through the pages and skimming the contents of each book I picked up. But as my bags get smaller, I really hate bringing them out due to the additional weight.

So I made an investment recently. And that is to purchase an e-reader! I have been contemplating to get one for the longest time but I never really got down to it. How thrilled I was to finally get it about a month ago via Qoo10!

It comes with a free kindle pouch as well :)

Amazon is the creator of this wonderful e-reader! They don't do direct shipping to Singapore so I'm extremely happy to find a Singapore seller through qoo10.

Unboxing my kindle!

Tore off the protective sheet and powered it up!

I even got a smart cover that is able to wake the kindle up when flipped open and bring it to sleep when closed. Totally not me to get it in navy but it is the most practical choice in the long run (so I do not need to suffer from dirty covers)

I have been using it for a month plus now and I'm super loving it so far! It is glare free which makes reading from it such a breeze. There is a dictionary in it for me to learn/understand new words as I read along, which saves me lots of time to google the meaning from my phone.

I am carrying it around with me and it has accompanied me on my train/bus rides. Although I sometimes missed the feel of flipping through paperbacks but I am totally not missing the weight that actual books give. The kindle is so much lighter and convenient for me to bring it around.

Perks of buying it from the qoo10 seller is it came along with free 8000 titles of ebooks for us to download to our kindle for free. And most of the ebooks contain titles from popular authors like Dan Brown, J K Rowling, Nicholas Sparks and more! Definitely don't need to purchase anymore ebooks in the near future.

I am currently on book 5 of the mortal instrument series, which is the last. I never thought I would be in love with this entire series but I guess never say never.

I seriously hope this kindle will serve me well and for as long as possible!
