E-Books or College Textbooks?

          At the start of the new semester, all college students are waiting with baited breath to see how much money they are going to waste... I mean spend on college textbooks.  Are these even worth buying? Will I read these books ever?  I wonder how heavy it will be if I have to carry all of my textbooks around with me.  Have no fear college students!  The world is evolving into a very technological world.  Now students have the chance to purchase books right off the internet!
          The Amazon Kindle could be what all of the college students are looking for!  A very light weight techno-heavy product that lets you load hundreds of books onto one little tablet.  How great is that?  Being able to carry hundreds of pounds of books in a simple tablet sounds ideal.  As a member of the Amazon Kindle community, I can say that E-Books are the new way to go.  If you feel that you are going to use your college textbooks or even if you feel you aren't going to use them, Amazon allows you to purchase those same expensive textbooks for pocket change.  You are able to rent and buy textbooks straight from your Kindle alone.  One of the best things about the Kindle is that you can download the application on any Android or Apple product.  You are able to get all of your Kindle books straight to your computer or iPhone.  Seeing as most people have an addiction to their phone already, students can study and prepare for their upcoming tests while on their phone!
          Kindles are a great addition to any classroom as well.  They are on the higher end of a budget, but students are able to read any book that has been purchased under the same email.  Its nearly impossible to lose a book unless you lose your kindle all together.  Kindle books are downloaded within seconds of being purchased.  No more having to wait days for a book to come in the mail!  There is also no pesky shipping costs.  All shipping is free.  You can also return a Kindle book if necessary.  No more carrying around heavy books or physically flipping through pages.  Students can highlight and annotate straight from the Kindle itself!  Students can also see what other people have highlighted and noted throughout the book as long as they are connected through the internet.
          I love my Kindle.  I am able to read my book straight from my computer, my Kindle, or my phone at anytime.  I severely dislike reading, but for me, reading is fun on my Kindle.  I have no pressure to finish the chapter or feel how much of the book I have left.
In conclusion, unless you would like to waste your hard earned money (or your parent's hard earned money), purchase a kindle and buy cheap books from there!
