My birthday present from Andy came in today – a shiny, new Kindle!
I am so very excited! I have already gotten about 13 books and I only paid $30 for all of them and that’s pretty good considering that two of those were $20. I’ve messed with it a little bit and really like what I see. I’ll be taking it outside in the bright sun tomorrow to see how it reads and I’m looking forward to testing that 2-month battery life. Hardback books (I really don’t much like paperbacks as they fall apart so easily) have gotten ridiculously expensive. One of the books I bought today was listed for $26.95 for the hardback edition and the Kindle edition was $9.99. A bonus on top of the much cheaper price is that I now don’t have to find room for that book on my bookshelf. It boggles my mind that the Kindle can hold 3,500 books. Hello Reading, I’ve missed you! Can’t wait to get acquainted with you again, my friend!
