I almost bought the wrong Kindle – then these details won me over

E-readers are some of the most beloved devices on the market. They made single-use tech cool again and completely eliminated the choice paralysis speed readers like myself faced when they had to choose just one book to throw in their bag. Although I’m curious about the various other e-reader brands on the market (like Kobo), I’ve always gravitated towards Amazon’s Kindles. Maybe it’s the way ‘Kindle’ is synonymous with the word ‘e-reader,’ or maybe it’s the thousands of titles I’ve collected via the shopping giant’s e-book store. Regardless, when it was time for me to buy a new e-reader, I knew I wanted a Kindle.
