Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice

            Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books of all time.  I have several print copies of this book on my shelf at home.  To me, there is nothing like a good book, in a quiet low-lit room with a blanket and cup of something hot to drink.  Recently, however, I purchased an ipad and I found that I can take Pride and Prejudice with me anywhere.  This is so much easier than toting a paper copy of the book around and it wouldn’t look as weird if all of my family and friends began seeing me everywhere with a copy of this book in tow.   Therefore, with my Daily Lit subscription and  my Amazon Kindle Cloud Drive, I am able to keep at least two copies of the book with me electronically.  I also used the Guttenberg Project website to download a copy of the book and convert it to a mobi file. 

            Reading an e-book is also convenient because I don’t have to worry about making room in my tote bag for an extra book.  Additionally, I can increase or minimize the font size, electronically highlight my favorite parts of the book, and flip to any page almost instantaneously.  What’s more, if an e-book is on an application such as a cloud drive, it not required that you use the same device to read your book.  For example, if you forget your ipad at home, there is no need not to read it because you can always pull up the copy on another device. 

            Overall, my e-book has been well-worth the value.  Not only has it been of convenience for space and time, but it saved me money as well.  Books are traditionally purchased online or in a bookstore, however, the e-copies of this book been downloaded for free like many other classics from free e-book websites.  I would definitely recommend an e-book to anyone looking for leisure, time, and space conveniences.
