It's the newest craze for reading books. It's called the Amazon Kindle and it's just too cool! I love to read and having this device would make reading more fun. Of course you have to purchase the books you download to the device, but they're generally cheaper than in the store. You don't need to purchase online time, it comes 'free' with the device. You don't have to wait for long downloads - 1 minute or less for most books. You don't need a computer to use it, nor do you need to be within the vicinity of one to access it. You simply turn it on, search for the book, purchase it right on the device through Amazon.com and then download it. You can read books for days before recharging the battery, and you can read it outside with the special easy to read screen with 6 different font sizes. Amazing huh?!? By the time I can afford to buy it, a newer version will come out, the downloadable books will be cheaper, as will the device itself I'm sure! For now I'll just drool and save my pennies as I remind myself that it's a sin to covet!

Kindle...to Buy or Not to Buy!
OK, I absolutely love new gadgets and gizmos that make life more fun and generally easier...especially on the homeschool front. I remember when Flic first came out - I was so excited! I purchased it and had a total blast scanning all our books, CDs and DVDs. I highly recommend it for the person who like me, enjoys being organized! It was a good purchase. Well...have you seen this new device?

I so badly want one too, but am also going to have to wait a loooong time, as with the exchange rate it is pretty much unaffordable for the forseeable future :-(
