Or as i call it, a birthday gift that arrived early! :D
So Bhaaiyon and unki Behnoo, let me present before you, my new toy Kindle Wireless Reading Device, (Wi-Fi version)
Its been one week i got my hands on it, and i have not able to put it down ever since! The best part about Kindle is that I am reading four books on it side-by-side, and it opens each book exactly where i left it the last time!! Trust me, its a really good feature for people with memory as bad as mine!
There have been situations, that the small handmade bookmark that i keep in my physical books fell out, and i re-read about 10 pages again, having a feeling of deja vu! (or story guessing super powers) :D Its only after reading them, I realize, that I had already read those pages before! :P
Also, there is one super awesome feature which i am totally, totally, totally in love with! There is this Chrome extension - Send to Kindle. Many a times while working in office, I come across an awesome opinion article or a detailed analysis, which is basically 4-5 pages long. Due to the truckload of work, and lack of time (even for breathing, at times!!) I add the article to my bookmarks and then totally forget about it in a day or two! With this extension, i am just pressing a small button on my chrome, and it removes all the ads and clutter, formats the article as per kindle format, and sends it to my kindle over Wi Fi ! Neat!
Now all I need is a free service, that takes the latest articles from all the blogs that I follow (over 300), package them into one large file, and send them to my Kindle at the end of the day!
Anyways, I just spent about 3 hours, sitting in a roadside cafe, reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
, and enjoying the most rare commodity in Europe - SUN !! I was amazed that there was almost no eye strain, even after reading on an electronic device for such a long time! Good Going!
Btw, going by my old habits, I am not very sure that how much time it will take me to get bored of this, and get back to watching stupid reality TV shows! But i think, for the good part of my remaining stay here, I am not even going to switch on the TV again! (I already have 10 books and 17 long articles untouched in my Kindle!)
And before i forget, Thanks sis, mom and dad for the early bday present! For those of you who want to buy this, here is the link on Amazon web store -> Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology
Enjoy!

Hey, congrats on your Kindle. Didn't know about the Chrome extension, will surely try it out. :-)
BTW, US Kindle owners can get blogs delivered to their Kindles, but not us. Hope the service comes soon here as well.
Enjoy!
