My New Kindle

I will start by saying....I LOVE MY NEW KINDLE!  Thanks, Mom!


My mother bought me a kindle.  It was a very generous gift and I am so grateful.  I have always been an avid reader.  I love to read anything and when I get into a good book I have been know to stay up well into the night to finish it.  I can easily have 3-4 books going at the same time..It is one of the things that I would say is a passion.  With this illness there have been times when I couldn't lift my head or didn't have the strength in my arms to hold a book for an extended period of time. This was an answer to my prayers.  I can lay with my head flat on the pillow and still read the kindle on the bed next to me. 

They recently dropped the price of the Kindle to $189 at Amazon.  I have no information of how the Kindle compares to other "ebook" devices but I know I love mine.  You can hold tons of books, devotionals, newspaper subscriptions, and magazine subscriptions all in one place.  It will fit easily in a handbag.  I love it because it charges in the wall or on your computer/laptop with the USB port.  There are tons of free books you can get and most books are much less to buy for the kindle than in the printed version.  It is lightweight and easy to carry and you can even download kids books as well.  It has a read aloud version so you can listen to the books either through headphones or through the speakers.....

I just wanted to share this product with you as you embark on vacations....They also have some new apps for Iphones and Droids to be able to read on your phones....Just another option.
