Well that makes four of us! I saw it this morning and wondered what is so fun about creating a fire. Then just now curiosity got the best of me....LOL

I am thinking of buying one. Books that I love tend to be heavy and with a herniated disc in my neck the Kindle would be the way to go....

June is nasty.

So. When You buy the books, do they store in Your kindle? Or are they lost forever? Like June's cake....

They're there until you decide you don't want them to be there anymore. But they hold an INSANE number of books...3,000 or something like that.

The books download directly to your kindle. It takes about 10 secs. Many books are free based on length of copyright. It holds a bazillion books. Exactly.

The 'green" aspect of the kindle also appealed to me. I loved the idea that you could get books and NOT have to cut down trees.

It also saves on space, as Sam seems to have found out.

I've had my Kindle for almost a year now. I have really, really enjoyed it and it's gotten me back to one of my very first loves.....reading!!

I initially started to consider a Kindle when my eyes started getting so bad, I could hardly see anything up close, and I'm nearsighted!! I bought reading glasses....a whole bunch of them, at Costco, and I couldn't even keep track of those!! So, when I first heard about the Kindle, I found out that you could enlarge the text as much as you wanted and that clinched the deal for me!!!

My Kindle has 3G Wireless and I'm happy with it. I think it's the 2nd Generation one, but I'm seriously happy with it. I ended up buying my best friend, Irene, the latest generation Kindle for her birthday, this past October and she tells me that she can't put it down!!!

I've always wanted to read more of the "classics" and this is another reason I love my Kindle. I can download those for free!!!

Wow.

So You don't miss the feel of the pages or the cover of the book? <sigh>

Not at all. And honestly, that surprised me. I thought I would. The new kindle's font replicates book font very closely, but my eyes don't get as tired. There's also a lot less glare on the new kindle's screen.
