One Year On... with Kevin Kindle
Smaller... Lighter...
Bigger... Brighter...
Newer... Faster...
Louder... Cheaper...
And really
touchy-feely.
These are just some
of the promises I've heard about other e-readers from those desperate to lure
me away from my Kindle. You may remember my first love-at-first-sight encounter
with Kevin Kindle from last Christmas, followed by Valentine’s Day and our first
holidays together.
So, where are we now,
after our first year anniversary?
Well, Kevin is
reliable. He’s always there for me, although he does occasionally need to take time
out to recharge his batteries. There’s only been one occasion when I've felt
let down and my trust has been challenged - but I can’t see the point of dredging
up old arguments.
We spend a lot of
time together. He’s also taught me a lot and introduced me to some new ideas, but I
retain my independence and frequently meet up with old friends (aka real books).
Kevin has never been
a cheap date and the financial commitment has been considerable. It’s very easy
to push that ‘click-to-buy’ button. And his sense of style hasn't improved. He’s
still dressed in the same old purple suit - but it’s wearing well - and whether
we’re at home or out and about, it means he’s always easy to spot.
I’m still smitten. My sense of loyalty is strong. I'm not
tempted to stray or distracted by any of the flashy all-singing, all-dancing
multi-media devices and tablets - although if one of them comes up with a way
to bring me breakfast in bed every morning, I might change my mind. Until then,
Kevin and I are in a long-term relationship. I'm in it for the long haul. I'm ready to commit. I may wait a long time
for a proposal, of course, but I'm a patient woman.
Happy New
Year! All best wishes for a healthy, happy and successful 2013.
