Technology for the Bike Ride Part 3 - The Kindle







I love to read.

And I especially love to read on a bike ride.



















You bike till you're good and tired.



Find a nice shade tree...


Or a comfortable rock with a lovely view...

And relax on the side of the road with a good book.



And I love to read about the places I visit...





Oregon...






....Idaho




....Wyoming


....and that will be just the beginning...








So how am I going to carry enough books for a bike ride of 3,630 miles across America?



My answer is The Kindle.

I love my Kindle.

It can carry hundreds of books...

...in 10.7 ounces!






It fits in my bike bag....

and...

if I'm lost in Minnesota and I suddenly think of a book I need to read...

I can buy it instantly by wireless!



I tried the IPad...

Too big for my bike carrier.

And to read on a cell phone?

The screen is too small.






So, like Goldilocks, I've found my bowl which is just right.

And it's my Kindle.
