I have this bad habit - I download a book sample, read it, get nervous there's a better book out there, download another sample... you can see where this is going! I like real books, too, but they just take up so much space. We're getting ready to move, so the idea of the Kindle (and less "stuff") is very appealing to me. I really like it so far!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501466523647174903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667284174716376085.post-34102067840432677172011-04-23T22:38:45.852-07:002011-04-23T22:38:45.852-07:00Yay Kate!

Absolutely they are great on trips. I have to admit, I still like regular books, too, so they're not quite the same!Brenda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11205370445553406208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667284174716376085.post-41236209680294984092011-04-18T18:46:25.936-07:002011-04-18T18:46:25.936-07:00Kate, you get lots of points for your forward thin...Kate, you get lots of points for your forward thinking;) I think a Kindle works well for someone who travels a lot or has another need for portability. I'm not there yet. My husband has been after me to try one, but I LOVE books. I like to see them piled up, and there's still room on my bookshelves. And there's no better deal than a used book in good condition.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448211798237937246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667284174716376085.post-16061638605982707762011-04-18T06:37:10.385-07:002011-04-18T06:37:10.385-07:00I've been thinking about getting an IPad, for ...I've been thinking about getting an IPad, for kind of the same reason.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667284174716376085.post-54458561103596277932011-04-17T22:28:00.072-07:002011-04-17T22:28:00.072-07:00Yes, but isn't it bad on the eyes, especially ...Yes, but isn't it bad on the eyes, especially if, like me, you already spend all day in front of a computer screen?
