10 Reasons Not to Buy a Kindle


10 Reasons Not to Buy a Kindle

The Kindle Reading Device is Amazon's bestselling item for two years running.  According to Amazon it is "the most-wished for, most gifted, and has the most 5-star reviews of any product on Amazon."

So why would you not want to buy a Kindle?



Not comfortable with new technology. Some folks take to new technology like ducks take to water. They jump at the chance to make their lives more convenient and pleasurable though new technology like Kindle. Other folks are just the opposite.  Leaning to use new tech products doesn't come easy for them.  They may even like the idea of Kindle, but prefer to wait before buying. They read reviews and learn from their friends who use Kindle.



Older Kindles might become obsolete. Technology is changing fast.  Kindle has produced three generations of Kindle models since it was first introduced in 2007.  As Kindle introduces new features, users must decide whether to buy the new model. A competitor might introduce a new game changing  reader that will render Kindle obsolete.



Too expensive. After buying their Kindle reader, users pay for each book downloaded to their library. While Kindle books cost less than new books, the total cost over time is a concern for some people when they can borrow books from public libraries for free. Or they can buy used books..



Like the look and feel of real books. Pick up a real book. Look over its book jacket and illustrations. Thumb through its pages. Scan chapter titles. Turn real pages. People who enjoy this reading experience may not be satisfies with Kindle.



Kindle might crash.  Like all tech gizmos, Kindle could fail causing inconvenience and frustration while replacing the product.



Kindle might get damaged or broken. It could be accidentally dropped. Or something could be dropped on it. It could get wet at the swimming pool.



Kindle could get lost or stolen. This causes frustration and stress in searching for the lost Kindle, or replacing it.



Kindle may be hard on your eyes. Staring at a screen for too long can be hard on your eyes. So much time is already spent watching television and computer displays. Some studies have raised cause for concern about the effects of too much viewing on the eyes.



Battery. Your battery may die on you at the most inconvenient time, and you forgot to bring along your charger.



Inertia. Some folks are set in their ways.  They just don't' want to change how they read books.
