Kindle gift - librarian goes to the dark side

I am a little unsettled about something and I don't know quite what I feel about a matter. 

What could I be concerned about, you wonder?

Here goes.....

I got a Kindle.

I didn't choose to get it. Ciaran bought it for me.  

As a librarian, I feel a little subversive - like I have gone to the dark side.  

But as a reader, I love it!!!  

I may never read a physical book again........but having an ereader has made me seriously consider the future of libraries and bookshops considering the ease and convenience of the kindle.  One thing is for sure, my library job will be very much changed in the next few years and in a decade it will probably be unrecognisable in relation to what I do now.
