Getting a single edition of the newspaper while traveling, just to "keep up" is a great idea.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360945155460751000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654866317486602594.post-89740841841030589382008-07-17T13:20:00.000-06:002008-07-17T13:20:00.000-06:00I bought my husband a Kindle for his birthday.

My hubby use to hold his breath at luggage check just waiting to be charged a heavy bag fee. Now I can take as many books as I want on vacation and they weigh only 10.3 ounces. Puts a smile on his face.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360945155460751000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654866317486602594.post-53723354181279322342008-07-15T10:53:00.000-06:002008-07-15T10:53:00.000-06:00I have a friend who keeps trying to talk me into a...I have a friend who keeps trying to talk me into a kindle.

I wondered if I would and put off buying a Kindle until they had been on the market about 7 months. I was hooked the minute I pulled it out the box. I find reading on Kindle preferable to a paper book because it's easier to hold and I don't have to worry about marking where I'm at because the pages don't "turn" when I put it down. I have about a dozen more reasons for loving it and I could go on and on but probably should keep the post fairly short. I have a contact me button on the right sidebar of this blog if you'd like more info and links about the Kindle.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360945155460751000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654866317486602594.post-30388582436766940192008-07-15T10:12:00.000-06:002008-07-15T10:12:00.000-06:00Hi Koolaid Mom ~The Amazon Kindle that I mentioned...Hi Koolaid Mom ~<BR/>The Amazon Kindle that I mentioned in my post is an e-book reader. In addition you can subscribe to and read blogs, newspapers, and magazines. You can also surf the web in elementary fashion and check and answer email. Log onto the Amazon site and you can get complete details about the Kindle. I absolutely love mine.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360945155460751000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654866317486602594.post-18715393629040352492008-07-15T10:09:00.000-06:002008-07-15T10:09:00.000-06:00Hi Julie~If you decide to sign up at Bookins let m...Hi Julie~<BR/>If you decide to sign up at Bookins let me know so you can get some of the points I'm giving away.
