Why You Should NOT Buy a Kindle

It probably seems odd that I would have a post about why you should not purchase a Kindle when this whole blog's purpose is to advocate it.

Still, like with everything else it's not for everyone.

You should not buy a Kindle:

• If you love the smell and look of paper books.
• If you are looking for major cost savings. However, Kindle CAN save you money if you are into collecting classics (public domain.)
  
• If the main purpose of purchasing books is to collect rare editions.
• If you read mainly technical books. Although the Kindle DX may still fit your needs.
• If you read mainly color, illustrated books. Kindle currently can only show black and white pictures.
• If you are visual impaired. While most books have the text-to-speech enabled the menu itself does not have that feature. It may be hard to navigate to the book if you are unable to see the menu.
• If you don't read.

This list is by no means complete. There may be other reason why you will not be pleased with the Kindle. I hope I was able to at least help you determine if it is for YOU. If you are still in doubt, you can still try it. Amazon.com will let you return your Kindle within 30 days of purchase.
