All well and good

But you don't start off with experience, it needs to be aquired, you can't aquire experience because no employer will give you a job due to your inexperience.

Tell me how my generation gets its foot in the door, when every job application seems to require one, and not only that but most places demand that you have at least a 2:1. (Which I have).

The only people who say experience is all you need, are those that have already have it.

Kindle owners don't read many books based on the ability to read quickly? My reading ability is probably considered slow therefore:

I own a device that can store many books because I don't read many books even though I bought a Kindle because I own too many books and I don't have shelf space to buy/store more.

My head hurts.

Never read a Jack Reacher any good?

I love my Kindle, I can read in bright light with getting a head ache and it doesn't go flat before the day is out. Tablets on the other hand...expensive things to browse the web on.
