I think it's one of the greatest "gadgets" I have ever bought.<br /><br />Like AngelMay I like to snuggle down in bed and read it; as she says with only one hand out in the cold holding it.<br /><br />The big advantage is that the ebooks are cheaper that the real thing because there is no paper, or printing ink costs, no production or binding costs added to the price, and of course no postage and handling costs! And when you buy a book, its in your reader within seconds!<br /><br />If you go <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">here</a> you can download 30,000 free books! That should last you through the winter months!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-46830495369321181552009-12-15T17:08:33.755-05:002009-12-15T17:08:33.755-05:00I have heard it is one of the best gadgets around ...I have heard it is one of the best gadgets around right now.

The really cool thing is that you can take along hundreds of books with you on a trip - to wherever - and they all together weigh about 10 ounces and take up only a tiny amount of space. The other really cool thing is that you can snuggle under the covers with only one hand exposed to hold the Kindle - AND you can turn the "page" with the same hand you are using to hold it. AND...you can purchase a book and have it on your Kindle and ready to read in a matter of a couple minutes - or less.<br /><br />I also have magazines delivered to mine. BUT - no photos, really. It does some photos, but the quality is not so good. The Kindle is not for picture books.RLM Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218851852114927602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-92008993226048684782009-12-14T11:52:10.153-05:002009-12-14T11:52:10.153-05:00Betsy, we need a consumer report on it after Chris...Betsy, we need a consumer report on it after Christmas, I am seriously interested in one.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-47085327144117279862009-12-14T11:45:23.920-05:002009-12-14T11:45:23.920-05:00Fun, but I'm such a hopeless romantic when it ...Fun, but I'm such a hopeless romantic when it comes to books.
