Kindle Forever!
I decided to write this because there are a few things about the Kindle Ebook reader that I haven’t seen addressed yet. For one thing, I have enjoyed the fact that when I am reading with it, no one can see what I am reading. Although the screen is very well lit, it can’t be seen from the side, so you have complete privacy! No more hiding your paperback title!
Another thing I like is when I’m reading the newspaper, it’s really much faster to hop from story to story with a quick touch of a button! So I can actually read the paper faster than when I have the paper in my hand. I can also skip articles I’m not interested in faster.
I used to ask for books as gifts from my friends and family for Christmas, and now I just tell them to get it for me on my Kindle, and it costs them much less! Since things are tight for everyone now, they like that too!
Oh, and when I’m flying somewhere, the Kindle is so lightweight compared to bringing along a few good books! And the size is really convenient on a plane when the person in front of me puts their seat back, I’m not cramped! I can bring along several good books and still just have the one small paperback size Kindle in my purse!
It’s probably the best investment I’ve made for something as personal as reading is to me. Reading is the one thing I enjoy doing and I like keeping to myself, which is exactly the way you get it with Kindle wherever you are! I almost forgot, having the ability to change the size of the font is great! Sometimes when I’m tired, I like to make it bigger.
Thank you

Kindle!!!
My coveted gadget ever since the day I watched Oprah introduce it to her audience. I wasn’t able to get it, raising 5 kids and all, but I dropped not-so-subtle hints for my husband over and over and over, well you get the idea. This year, just before deer hunting season came upon us, my husband said the magic words, “why don’t you get that Kindle- thingy you’ve been wanting?” Again, I recited the responsible reply, telling him it was just a luxury, not a necessity, I didn’t need it, I have the library…. for the first time, he didn’t just take NO for my answer. He said, “You’ve been wanting it for a long time, you might as well just get it.”
That was all the nudging I needed. Ebook Reader was my instant destination, and before anyone could question whether we could really really afford it, I saw the price had DROPPED to 259.00!! How about that? Now I could say I got a discount! Everyone needs a deal, right?
I haven’t nearly enough time with my Kindle since its arrival. By this I mean, although it remains with me ALL day in my purse, for a sneak moment or two with my favorite authors, but it’s also in my hand all evening until I go to bed. So the obvious solution is to give me more hours in each day to spend more time with it.
This is by far my favorite gadget. I have owned many.
