Kindle Paperwhite

Over the weekend I decided to treat myself to a Kindle Paperwhite. I did already have a Sony eReader but it had been playing up lately so I decided it was time to go for a Kindle.

Once I’ve used it for the first time I’ll post a review of what I think of it. So far I’ve just linked it to my Amazon account and downloaded a couple of books.

If I Stay – Gayle Forman

The third book I read was “If I Stay” by Gayle Forman. I’d seen a few adverts for the film of this, which has not long been released in cinemas, and whilst looking for some new books to download on my eReader this popped up and I thought I’d give it a try.
