Now, I realize that artists should get compensated for their work. Being one myself, I can totally relate. But I'm a very picky reader. It will be nice to sample books by various authors. And when I discover a new author or book series that I like, I will have zero problem forking over the dough for my own copy or giving a book a favorable review.
That said, the first book I chose was Naked Filmmaking: How To Make A Feature-Length Film - Without A Crew - For $10,000 Or Less by Mike Carroll. I've read many filmmaking and screenwriting books. Some are gems; most are coals. "Naked Filmmaking" is a fun, entertaining read. It offers good advice with a straight-forward attitude. I recommend it!
The second reason is that reading on an iPhone or iPad in direct sunlight is painful. But with Amazon's fancy E-ink technology, reading a Kindle in sunlight won't cause headaches and eye strains that make me wanna punch a kitten. For that, I'm grateful. And I'm sure the kittens are, too. I doubt I'll travel with my Kindle since I also keep several books handy on my iPhone app; plus, that would be one more thing to haul around. But come this summer, when I'm baking (er, lounging) in the hot sun, I'll enjoy having this bad boy.
Oh, and for the record, no way would I ever intentionally harm an animal. My pets are my kids.
