It's official. I'm in love with my Kindle!
While in Georgia visiting Emily and Paul for her big day, they so generously gave me a Kindle for my birthday! :)
For those of you who don't know, there was a time (before my lovely girls) that I went through at least a book a week. I love reading, but I wasn't ready to give up my paper books.
I WAS WRONG!
As in many things, my wonderfully thoughtful mother-in-law knows me better than I know myself and purchased this electronic reader for me despite the fact that for the past 2 Christmases I have denied my need for one.
Did you know you can play Scrabble on a Kindle? Pete and I play against each other almost every night now.
Did you know you can download free books? I am embarrassed to admit how many I've acquired in just 2 short weeks. I cannot say no to free books. I just can't!
Did you know you can lend your books for 2 weeks to other Kindle readers?
Did you know you can make a wish list and family/friends can search it just like a registry and send books to you that you can either accept or exchange? My sister and brother-in-law sent me 2 for my birthday!
I have no idea I could do all of this with a Kindle! I'm hooked!
I'm currently reading "The Gospel of Ruth" (which was free). I'll let you know how it is :)
Thank you Emily and Paul!
So happy for you! I had a feeling you'd love it! I read constantly and do almost all of it using my phone's Kindle app. I love it! The free books are amazing : ) I didn't know about the other features you mentioned ... I'm wondering if they don't work with the app...games don't :( I hear you can get children's books for the Kindle too.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I am so happy for you..... a Kindle is a great gift that keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteJoy- Yes, you can get children's books as well! I am still learning a lot of the features. Some libraries are even doing Kindle lending now!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you love it.
ReplyDeleteYou can get your magazines sent to you and newspapers too. I could get my knitting patterns down load off Ravelry that way too. The public library here in Peachtree City has e-books on line too. Emily if you like I will give you the website and my password to use it as you are Emily Nadeau too!!!lol
