My birthday is coming up next week and my husband presented me with my present today... a KINDLE!!!!! For an obsessive reader like myself, there could be no better gift! I often find myself with two or more books going at a time, so a kindle is perfect for me, no lugging numerous books around or trying to find the one I left laying by the couch or in the garage or next to the bed, etc. I have already gotten two titles that I was unable to get at the library or bookstore (one was out of print, the other was only available in hardback and was therefore $25 if I wanted to order it). Hurray for the kindle!
 
I had to google "kindle" because I had absolutely no idea what it was.

I like it!!!! Congrats and happy birthday!
 
I love that a lot of the classics are free. I haven't read many of them since high school if at all. I even got the complete works of Shakespeare and most of the founding documents of our country. This is amazing!
 
*gasp* traitor!! I refuse to get one on principle.. they dont smell like books.. they dont look good on my bookshelf.. and its just one more glowing rectangle to stare at.. I read to get AWAY from my 20,000 screens I stare at every day...

Am jealous of the freebies though.. I just spent $13 to buy Dracula..
 
I AM SOOOOOOOO Jealous.....

I have wanted one ( Book Reader) for years now... If you need some books for it let me know I have a collection of thousands of books on my pc and know a few awesome places to get more...

They don't glow. The screens are dark, they look like paper. It's the future! And you don't put it on your bookshelf because you have a thousand and one books in it!
