I have a deep love for both my book collection and my Kindle. The additional sensory input and comfort you get from holding a bound book adds a ton of flavor to the reading experience, but my Kindle allows me to save valuable shelf space for only the treasured tomes, to increase the font size when my eyes get tired, to search my whole digital library for a quote or tiny bit of info I can only vaguely recall, and to shamelessly read smut in public without wondering if anyone's going to give me grief over it. Perhaps my favorite aspect of having a Kindle though is traveling with it. It is such an immense joy for me to take such a large portion of my library with me wherever I go. I had a luxurious selection of titles to choose from on my last trip to Ireland when I was awake at 4am thanks to jet lag. It's for that reason that I often have both a bound and a digital copy of my very favorite reads.
