MY KINDLE

You know how guys are with their “toys!” Well I had been intrigued by the Kindle (ereader) that enables a person to read digitized books. I have that capability on my Palm TX but the screen is very tiny. So having a Kindle with a bigger screen sounded interesting. Then I also heard that the Kindle could connect to the internet. That really got me interested.

 A few of our friends have Kindles and so I got to look at and handle one. Cindy had expressed some interest in one so I thought she would get one and maybe I could try out hers.

When my family surprised me on my birthday they also surprised me a gift – my very own KINDLE 3G Wi-Fi.  I have been having so much fun with it. For some reason I do not totally understand I am reading a lot more now than before I got a Kindle. My good friend Ken & I (he has one also) have been sharing some books and then talking about them together. There are literally thousands of free books available on the internet. I have sent myself all our travel arrangements for our European vacation. I have our schedule plus hotel information and things we are doing while on our cruise.

I love it. I also discovered that I can access my email account so I can both receive & send messages.  Admittedly this an experimental feature at this point and is a bit cumbersome but it works.
