It's a Kindle!


I got my Kindle yesterday!

It was a tough decision. The iPad looked so good, but was far out of reach price-wise. I also have troubles with my eyes and I needed something that wasn't backlit. So, no iPad.

The Nook also sounded good, but we don't have Barnes & Nobles here and I spoke with a couple of people who had troubles with them from outside the US.

So the Kindle it is. And I love it. It was super easy to set up and start using. I uploaded some gift certificates I had, clicked a couple of buttons and downloaded 2 books.

My first book to read is L. Diane Wolfe's Circle of Friends: Heather. It's really interesting to watch Heather grow and develop through the book. I'm not done yet, and I can't wait to see if Heather's going to make the choices I want her to make! Nice work Diane :)

Next up is Terry O'Dell's Nowhere to Hide. Looks like terrific romantic suspense. Can't wait!

Any suggestions for what's next? Who has their book up on Amazon?

E-Reader?? Help!


My family has been hinting around that they might be buying me an e-reader for my birthday. Woohoo! I know - I have the best family :)

But, because I really haven't looked into the readers yet, I don't know which to hint at.

This is where you come in - I know some of you own e-readers, and others have done lots of research into it. Everything looks great! They're all so pretty and shiny and new!

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different versions? Which ones do you LOVE?

What should I want? HELP!
