INFJ: "Author". Strong drive and enjoyment to help others. Complex personality. 1% of the total population. These are serious students and workers who really want to contribute. They are private and easily hurt. They make good spouses, but tend to be physically reserved. People often think they are psychic. They make good therapists, general practitioners, ministers, and so on.
Haha...I'm a rarity! 1% ONLY! :D
ESFJ: "Seller". Most sociable of all types. Outstanding host or hostesses. They may be dependent, first on parents and later on spouses. They excel in service occupations involving personal contact. 13% of the total population
This is hers....she is not as rare...but still precious :)
Kindle 2This is a device that has held me intrigued since I learnt of its existence.
The consummate threat to the existence of books? Or a feeble attempt at replacing an entity that has stood its ground since the dawn of paper?
Unlike books, our fingers aren't required to keep open the book, hence making redundant the strain that a prolonged 'tripod' style of stretching our fingers while reading can cause.
A word that defies comprehension? The device instantly derives the definition, hence allowing the continuity of reading. (Major Plus) For all book readers must be irked at some point over the havoc an incomprehensible word can wreck to the pleasure of reading.
No longer will bookworms have their bags bursting at the seams in a meek demonstration of compression. This sleek device holds 1500 titles in its memory, and should you for some freak reason exhaust the collection, replenishment is readily available online at Amazon.com!
Contemplating these amongst other functions, I failed to find a single point to loathe about this device. However, the price is a hurdle...especially for students. However I feel this is the step to take for the evolution of reading. Books remain relevant only for the aesthetic appeal...a tool to satisfy the egos of men who refuse progress. It has always been said the essence of a book lies not in its physicality but in the content. Therefore I find no reason apt to justify the defiance of this product's being. The Kindle is to reading what iPod is to music.
I somehow feel this entry is tantamount to treachery...for should it go mainstream...bookstores would find themselves defunct. Haha...and the immensely pleasurable experience of shopping at a bookstore would find itself extinct...which is a shame...The advocating of progress too, might be in itself a vice...Anyway it is a horrifying proposition to digitalise everything...I shall leave that for another day for I've once again fallen prisoner to fatigue...goodnight :)
