there is another thing I really like about the kindle, and that is that you can also download newspapers, for example The New York Times or the Guardian, of the same day.

|
hay otra cosa que me gusta mucho del kindle, y eso es que puedes bajar tambien periodicos por ejemplo El New York Times o The Guardian, del mismo dia. Entonces, te despiertas por la manana, bajas dos o tres periodicos, y en el metro puedes leer el periodico sin tener que comprar mucho papel
