Before I went on
holiday I spent a considerable amount of time choosing and downloading to my
Kindle all the books I might want to read while away. Dozens and dozens of them! After all, one of the best
things about an ereader is that it holds so many books, and after once being charged
a fortune in excess baggage due to the weight of my holiday reading, I’m now a total
Kindling enthusiast and won’t travel anywhere without it.
Actually, I have two Kindles.
I have a two and a half year old 3G (the one with the keyboard) and I also have
the new Kindle Fire (my prezzy from last Christmas) and, as I planned to do most
of my reading on the beach, I decided taking the older one with its
non-glare screen was the sensible option.
But woe is me! On day two,
after reading just one book (Security by Mandy Baggot – which is, by the way, a
fabulous and highly recommended read) my Kindle died and could not be resuscitated.
(Even on getting home and ordering up a replacment battery, it was still as
dead as dead could be).
I did ask our holiday rep if there was any books I could borrow, there was but they were all printed in Russian and German, which I neither read nor speak. So
for those of you about to embark on your summer travels with your full stocked
ereader, I might suggest you sneak a paperback or two into your luggage, just as a
back up!
If you fancy reading my Kindle
bestselling and award winning humorous novel Bagpipes & Bullshot this
summer, you can win a copy between now and the end of June by answering this
simple question (if you don’t know the answer you could always Google for it!)
What exactly is Bullshot…?
