Why do more people not own a kindle?

Question

I have the kindle paperwhite and it's literally amazing. You can read by the pool (the screen allows for easy reading in the sun), IN the pool (waterproof), at night (the light is easy on the eyes), BASICALLY anywhere. The battery life is amazing. If you're an avid reader WHY WOULDN'T YOU HAVE ONE! I don't know anyone besides myself who owns one and I don't understand why! If you need a Christmas present for someone who loves reading I am recommending the kindle paperwhite IT IS PERFECT. It's small enough to slip into my coat pocket and bring with my anywhere it's literally my favorite thing I own. I've had it for a year now and I NEED TO KNOW WHY EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE ONE? And Amazon prime gives you a decent selection of free books (especially if you love some of the classics).

Its not as nice as collecting real physical books. You can't show of your collection. Its not as nice to look at full bookshelf.

Reading experience is nice and its a pretty good choice when traveling, but it can't fully replace collecting and reading a physical book.

Also its owned by amazon and as far as i know not compatible with other ebook sources.

Thats why i got a Tolino and not a kindle.

And one last question, how much do you get paid for this advertisement?

You're absolutely right. I too own a Kindle Paperwhite. And it's the best thing that I ever have. Amd people don't own it is because they aren't avid reader or they've some misconception in their mind.

I have one and I didn't realize it was waterproof, thanks for tip/Mu problem with kindle's is that they are relatively small when you can get a fully functional tablet with far more capabilities including the ability to shop and read kindle selections. Also, I think the price of Kindle books is overpriced and the Kindle Unlimited plan seems only to have poorly written crap

I have kindle built in on my MacBook and Apple. I guess the expensive cost of Apple makes them generous with kindle products and they don’t charge you for it.

No thanks, but I prefer real books. Electronic devices have to be recharged and maintained properly, they're expensive and cause eye strain.

Because people can use the Kindle app on their phones, tablets, laptops... There is no pressing need for another device

because I don't like my technology spying on me and selling my information to China. Other than that, I really want one of these.
