and I even wrapped it up. The box, that is. Not the thing. Because, well... I'll be honest, I couldn't wait. When I renewed my lease here for another year I got a $100 Best Buy gift card as an incentive. And so, since it wasn't costing me full price, I decided to brave the crowd of holiday shoppers and went to Best Buy and got the most amazing new gadget. It's a Kindle3G e-reader!
I am thrilled beyond words - and with all the free words I can load inside the thing! The sheer number of free books available for download is staggering - and I have downloaded about fifty books so far. All completely free! No bestsellers, but aren't the classics better anyway? It's lighter than a paperback and the display is very easy to read. I've been researching all of the e-readers out there for some time now and the Kindle had the best features - or so it seemed to me. My friend, Kathy, has a Nook and she loves it. Tim has an iPad and he likes that. I read so many reviews I started taking notes and it seemed that people were most enamored of their Kindles - and so I decided to take the plunge. And so far, I'm so glad I did!
Good for YOU!!! I,myself, prefer the feel of a book in my hands.....complete with a bookmarker and in a handmade book cover. I admire people who can appreciate this new technology....but I, alas, am not one of them!

And, by the way, I am happy for you!
