I had a paper book I had started to read. Found the book hard to hold (heavy for my arthritis-ed hands), and the print hard for my old eyes....so I went on Amazon, found the book and d/l for 1.99; gave the paper book back to the owner...I think Kindle is the best of both worlds....

But I love my Kindle. I have so many books, most free, that I'll never run out of stuff to read. Amazon also has a Kindle Daily Deal (you'll have to look around their site for that, I can't find it, although I do have their email to me with today's offer). The other day I got Life of Pi for about 0.99 from the Kindle Daily Deal; I think it was a best seller. I am enjoying it immensely. I also have some books in actual paper that I want to read, but never get around to picking them up. New Years Resolution: read the books that aren't on the Kindle. Yes, that'll do. Connie I am such a hypocrite.....I said I would never get an ereader, that I loved books so much. I recently was offered an ebook free and I wanted it. It was only for Kindle. Well, <red-faced> I found an app called Kindle for PC on Amazon free and downloaded the book. ******************** Gen-Newbie's website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~newbie/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GEN-NEWBIE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
