Let's go to the bookshelf!

Do you like to read books in your free time? Even though I cannot read many books these days, I still like to read books in my free time and on the way to travel. Moreover, I like everything about books that I can feel such as the letters of the books, the cover designs of books, and the feeling of underlining on the books. What I think as an uninvented thing in the world is “Kindles” which can make people easier to read without having real books. There is two reasons why I pick it up as uninvented thing.

Above all, I cannot line on the book when I use a Kindle to read. I tend to know the words which I do not understand well and I usually underline with a pencil whenever I see those words. I also underline the sentences that I really want to keep in mind with my highlighting pen. However, I cannot do anything like these when I use a kindle. In spite of the fact that there is the function of bookmarking, I think, I seem to be as a different work. I do not know if new version of kindle would develop such a function but I think it would be still considered as other thing.

Furthermore, I like the smell of old books and especially lots of stacks of old books on an attic of the house. However, I can smell nothing of old books on Kindles. If someone saw me who smell Kindle, he or she would think me weird. Besides the smell of books, I enjoy guessing their ages while turning over the pages. But, you know already what I want to say, I do not want to do that with my electric book. As people bring their own books, people can feel certain emotions through books not only the feeling of contents but also the touch of books.

For these reasons, if I could uninvent something, I would pick “Kindles” without hesitation.  While writing these paragraphs, I decided to read, love, and feel my books more and more. Let’s go to the bookshelf, together! ^^
