My Kindle

When Kindles first came out, I thought I would never want to read from one. I like books. But after having a Kindle for two months, I can say that I love it. It's so small and handy. It's so easy to find my place, to read in the dark with the little light on the case, to carry it in my purse, to read clandestinely when I'm supposed to be doing something else that is not to my liking, to have it for back-up at all times in case I have to wait for something, and to get all those free books! I downloaded 30 free public domain novels and bought a copy of King Lear for the book group for 95¢. It's especially great to have the Kindle this year, while we're remodeling and have packed away all the books; no searching! I'm hooked. I actually went in to a bookstore and didn't have to agonize over anything, since I knew I had 30 novels on the Kindle.
