## Going paperless?
|

I _love_ my Kindle. It's light-weight, has a battery that lasts about 4 weeks (I read about 1 hour a day), and it features a quality e-ink screen. The 3G option is fantastic, as you can leave your Kindle always connected and use services like [Readability](https://www.readability.com/) to send web pages neatly formatted to your Kindle for later reading.
|
|
|
|
Almost all of the books listed above are available for Kindle as well. So if you're not already paperless, why not start now?
