                      Do you hear the people sing? singing the song of angry man? 
                          It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again

Kindle

My favorite piece of technology is the "kindle", this its a electric reader of books very useful for me, a student of social science.
The kindle is a portable device that becomes the life of the student and intellectual more easy. This device allows buy, store and read digital books. The kindle is connected with internet through WiFi.

I used for first time the kindle when I was graduated, the year 2011. My grandmother give me the kindle how a gift because I was finished the school. Since this time I learn to used and the kindle facilitated my life; I  use this for read text of the university, and in this way not pay for the printing text that destroy the trees of the world. For use it I download the text that interest me in the PC and I send a free mail to my kindle, the text appear in this.

I used the kindle every day, unless that I have printing the book. If is it, I prefer read the text in paper.

My life without the kindle would be like normal, same that now. The kindle is something replaceable that never overcome the magic of the books in paper, with odor of paper and black tint.
