I have a new obsession (other than BYC)...

[Cetawin]

I have thought about a Kindle but had not taken the plunge yet. I am really enjoying my audio books because it leaves my hands free to do my beadwork and such. Congrats on your new gift!

I have to say that I am a huge fan of printed books, but I just can't get over how wonderful this device is. I can read easily with one hand (or even no hands other than to click a button). I don't have to try and find some way to prop it open to the right page. I can flit from one book to another without ever losing my place in any book. It doesn't take trees to make it. I am able to get hardback editions far cheaper than at the bookstore. I can get a new book any time of the day or night without leaving my house! I will have lots more room in my carry-on when I fly (I used to bring 4-5 books for every flight). The only thing I can't do is take it in the bathtub with me, I will stick to paper books for bathtime reading...
