As a Prime member, I get to view many of Amazon's videos free of charge. And many of them are very good. Especially among those that are produced by Amazon themselves. Many have won awards. It requires a lot of discipline to read a book when there is so much tempting content asking for your attention.
But watching videos is entertainment while reading books is work and requires exercising the mind. The mind is a muscle and it needs that exercise to keep fit and protect itself from dementia and Alzheimer. That is why we must keep on reading. It keeps us sharp and enables us to be able to think clearly and make wise choices in life. It is the lazy mind that is easily swindled into foolish decisions.
Hopefully, the Kindle will contribute to a more literate society and one in which reading has become a major past time.
