Must be it doesn't like boys who think money is for groceries instead of books.

I love book stores and I love the feel of turning pages when reading. More than that, I love my Kindle. (I still go into book stores, enjoy the smells, check out new and old books to see what I want to buy in Kindle version. At the airport, now I look through the book selections at the gift shop and download those that are interesting instead of doing what I used to do: buy them, then when I finished, give to flight attendants or hotel housekeepers so I don't have to carry them home.)

It's kind of weird not seeing what page number you're on and pushing a button to turn a page, but the Kindle isn't trying to mimic a book so much as add a whole new dimension to the reading experience. And I think the screen is a whole lot easier on the eyes and more glare-free than the iPad.

I got mine for christmas last year, and there are still a few paperback books I bought before that are sitting on the shelf waiting for me to open them and read them. Instead, I look at them from across the room, turn on my whispernet and buy a Kindle copy because it's easier and more fun (and powerful somehow) than walking all the way across the room to pick up that book.

When I got stranded at a shelter during those awful floods in Nashville last year (I was traveling for work), I piled up the blankets they gave me, sat on them, leaned on the wall of the high school gym and read for about 18 hours while people around me tried to sleep, complained about the rock hard floor that was their bed, bitched about having nothing to do and how long they were there...or whatever they did, I didn't notice too much because I was happily in another world with a library - even though my luggage was somewhere-who-knows-where between the hotel and the river.

And, I can carry hundreds of books with me everywhere I go, just in case I have some waiting time.

From now on, when Blush and I have femme nights, they will consist of us sitting on the couch reading from our Kindles. We can take a break and text each other once in a while.

Oh yeah, Duraflame logs are so much easier than kindling. Don't tell Jack I said that though.

And Goof and Oiler can bring us groceries.

I love the portability of the kindle. And the fact that no one knows what I'm reading.
