Do you love your Kindle? It’s on my Christmas wish list.

Yes, my kindle goes everywhere with me. There is much you can get free from gutenberg.org and also feedbooks.com has a download guide so you can download direct from the kindle. You can purchase books from Amazon as well with just a push of a button. I can read freerepublic.com on my kindle, and have about 26 books in it now. With the extra chip like one in your camera, you can put music on it and listen while you read! It keeps my place for me, and allows me to make notes and annotate in a my clippings file I can get into my computer to manipulate for arguments as well. It’s wonderful. I expect the technology to change rapidly and leave me behind, but I don’t care much, because there is so much to read already, it might last my lifetime! I’m homeschooling grandkids, and when they need quiet time to read and we away from home, they read from my kindle, and I don’t need to drag along lots of books. It has a built in dictionary,and you can search google from it as well. I’ve read so much since I got it. My daughter got it for my birthday in May. Wonderful gift! It’s light, easy to read, you can adjust the font, and if you put it down and forget it, it will go into save mode all by itself, saving battery life. Sheesh, sound like a salesman or something! But, I do love it!
