Owning A Kindle Can Add 5 Years To Your Life

In This Article:

You guessed it: I love to read.

I always have, and I probably will never not love picking up a good book. Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of physical books, and I will continue to buy them, but for some reason, having a Kindle I read more than I ever imagined possible.

I read all day, all night. This is 24/7 access to worlds just at your fingertips. Want to read a fantasy story about princes' and princess'? You can do that on your Kindle. Want to read about a historical figure? Your Kindle will have that. Any genre, any story that is published, your Amazon Kindle will have that.

Sure, physical books are great, and you can really do a lot with them, Kindle's are just the latest and greatest way to read, and to read a lot.

I absolutely LOVE my Kindle.

1. Easy access

Giphy

Endless amounts of books just at your finger tips. You can easily switch from book to book without the bulk and hassle of a physical book. How magical is that?

2. Kindle Unlimited

Giphy

Kindle Unlimited is a service offered by Amazon. It is $10 a month but you can have almost any book for free. Kinda like a library, but you get to keep it. $10 for every book you could ever dream of? Yes please!

3. The books

Giphy

Ever have that moment when you are at bookstore or library, and they are sold out/checked out of every copy of the book you want? NEVER happens with a Kindle. Bam, get it at the touch of your fingertips.

4. It's not just books

Giphy

You can buy any time of reading on a Kindle! Magazine, Newspapers. It's amazing.

5. The Kindle Itself

Giphy

Whenever you see someone that is also reading on a Kindle, you both smile. It's amazing. It's like a cult for reading.

Sorry, physical books. I still love you, but the Kindle is my main chick.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
