Danielle's granduation present, the kindle has been ordered and shipped Amazon informed me this morning. Should be here no later than Thursday. I had to get it for her now as she is continuing her education towards a Master's and the cost of books are half the price to download than purchasing at the school or stores. Since her classes will start soon she needs it now. Not to mention, at the stores here the cost was $149 and I got it for $99. Hey you can't beat that. Don't tell, but I got me one too. Hey, I read alot and the books around here take up a lot of space. That's why I haven't been on for few days. I borrowed some books from Deedee and they were series of 4. The Black Cobra Series of Stephanie Laurens and I have one left to finish. Then she brought over a 4 book set from Mary Balogh. Here I go again. Plus I have about 10 or 12 of my own I haven't read yet. Yes, I think it would be much easier with the kindle. Though I'm still partial to having a book in my hand. It has been so nice here that last few days and the swing was the perfect place to sit and read. Just a few days left of this weather so I hope to get a few more in.
Hubby took me to buy me a laptop yesterday and wouldn't you know, we were a day or two early on the sale. The ones advertised on the flyer from the paper weren't out yet. Now if I had used my head and looked harder I would have seen that and not wasted a trip. When I finally get it I'm going to have a friend give the pc a once-over and all will be right with the cyberworld here.
Not being out here for a few days, I missed that Beth has not blogged and was in the hospital. I saw that she is home now and pray that everything is good. God Bless you Beth.
My mom has a Kindle and loves it. You sure can't beat the lower price of books and the space it saves. I'd like to get something in color however those appear to be much more expensive. I hope you get your new lap top soon. It's always nice to have upgrades!
ReplyDeleteIf I read a lot, a kindle is the way to go, glad your daughter is getting one. Tell us about the new laptop when you get it.
ReplyDeleteHey that's a nice graduation present. The past few weeks have been very Fall here, which is warm days an cool nights. Be sure to check the laptop for age. The one sale we went to had old ones on the shelf they were trying to sell first! Prayers for Beth.
ReplyDeleteI think she'll love the Kindle. I don't have one myself, but my friends do. They all like it. My daughter just recently bought a Nook, and she loves that too because the screen lights up at night for easy reading. Guess it's the way of the world.
ReplyDeleteCool! In a way I'd like a kindl and in a way I don't want one. I do like the app that I have on my puter and Ipod though. It will work great for school tho! What kind of laptop are you getting?
ReplyDeleteI see that Beth has posted but I have yet to read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to bite on the Kindle, at least not yet. I am in the process of trimming expences, save for the car I just bought, which is hardly trimming, but I have to have priorities.
I love my Kindle! I've had it about 2 years now. I also get books on tape at our library and download them onto two of my Ipod Shuffles, so I can listen to books as I work or drive.
ReplyDeleteI still hold onto paper books...sigh...
