I am a VERY happy camper now! Now I don't have to worry if there is nothing good on TV to keep me company whilst I quilt...I just download a book (takes about 10 min. to download) and away I go! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
And no hassle driving to the library during their hours or remembering to return them on time, etc. They are automatically returned (and deleted from my computer) at the end of the 2 weeks. If I'm not done reading it, I can just check it out again!

It`s a free download for your PC. You can also get free book downloads. http://www.amazon.com/Free-Kindle-Bo...R3R4QDJZA9RLTA

One of the great things, in my opinion, about Kindle is the eInk, it's a font system that looks and reads like a paper back. And, using an arrow or your finger touch, you turn the pages as you would with a paper back.
Most books download for less than $10, there are 1000s that are free, you can also download magazines and newpapers.
I've been kinda watching the eReaders (generic term) for awhile. Trying to decide if it would be a great stocking stuffer from Santa.

It would make a great x-mass gift that keeps on giving. I purchased one for my husband who reads alot. Maybe a book a week or so. Now when someone wants to get him something and don't know what to do, i tell them get a gift certificate from amazon and he gets whateverhe wants to read when he needs a new book. Works out great.
