Having bought me the Kindle ( good buy) and the ugliest neopropene cover I have even seen ( bad buy) he agreed on Boxing Day to return the Ugly Thing and spend £50 on a lovely leather lighted cover. If he sees this I shall be banished to the studio and he'll want his £50 back. Or maybe, I'll get it to spend on screens. Hmmm.

Now I can buy almost any new release for the amount of a paperback IN ADVANCE. How great is that? I still go to bookstores and the library to check out titles, read a couple of pages and then make notes of what I will download. I bought them for all the readers in my family this year.Lindahttp://www.OneFootinFrance.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-15567890718891533042010-12-28T07:13:35.722-08:002010-12-28T07:13:35.722-08:00I have an e-reader and it is a life saver while tr...I have an e-reader and it is a life saver while traveling...no longer is my lugage weighed down by books and it has made me a much more patient person while waiting for appt. such as at the doctors!

I'm really enjoying it and since there is absolutely no more room in my house for actual books, it's the best gift for a bookworm like me.<br />Haven't done silk screening since college days but I remember enjoying the process a lot.

Make sure it's pretty sturdy -- I read my kindle in bed (you don't need to turn over to catch the light on the right side of the page) and plop it on the stand when I'm half asleep and am always glad when the "plop" sounds soft with the cover.<br /><br />I also got a screen cover -- it isn't perfect (I didn't get all the bubbles out) but i figure when I scratch the face beyond reading comfort, I'll take it off and buy a new one.<br /><br />I love my Kindle. Love, love, love. Although I did have to buy the real thing for a dense sort of academic book -- after I read it on the Kindle. I need to make underlines and side notes when I'm serious.<br /><br />I like it especially for trash novels when I need one Now! Like at 10 PM as I'm going to bed.

It was one of those things that I would never purchase for myself, but was delighted to order it at no cost to me! You are right, a cover is necessary. I too worry about it getting damaged in my purse. I think your cover is perfect (it looks like the "resting display") and is much nicer than the $50 covers on Amazon. I have read 3 books so far on the Kindle (I just got it earlier this month!) and I ordered my text book for next semester on the Kindle. Amazing technology…Enjoy your Kindle!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105108196295040320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-57257849597631403762010-12-27T14:45:09.592-08:002010-12-27T14:45:09.592-08:00You and several of my friends have become great Ki...You and several of my friends have become great Kindle affectionadoes (sp).

The library has them available to rent. She said after about 50 pages she had no actual feeling she was reading an electronic book. Was it that way with you?<br /><br />Let me know what you thing of the book. I liked the way this author writes and the second book is also good but I missed the French policeman.

Did you find that after a while, you were just reading, and not actively thinking "I'm clicking the button! I'm turning the page!"? It's amazing how fast you get used to it. And I love being able to look words up instantaneously, or highlight quotations for easy finding later.<br /><br />Someone on Etsy sells a pattern for making kindle covers (they look well designed and thought out) -- not that you can't do a beautiful one. Your screen looks perfect for this!<br /><br />May you have many happy reading hours with it!Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-82277016696477812412010-12-27T13:06:46.079-08:002010-12-27T13:06:46.079-08:00I agree with Gerrie ... so very cool!
