As my Scottish granddad used to say about him "if he gets hold of a dollar, by G-d it's a prisoner!" I think I may actually succeed in getting a Kindle anyway because he's intrigued by being able to rescue his home from the book chaos. Can't wait to get my Kindle!neyneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356981584537564713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765024735576829637.post-843770790237626382009-04-29T20:13:00.000-07:002009-04-29T20:13:00.000-07:00I've actually trained my husband to just let me go...I've actually trained my husband to just let me go and buy my own mother's day presents :) It takes the pressure off him and I'm always happy!

It was the size of your average paperback & I'm blind so I had to increase the font but it was easily readable. That being said the geek/nerd in me just loves to be surrounded by books. The problem is that my house is being overrun with them. If I love a book I go back to re-read it time and time again so the result is that I never throw books away and I'm awash in a sea of books! I've hinted at the hubby and kids that I want a Kindle for my b-day in December. If they don't get one for me then I'll probably get one for myself! Let us know Deborah about the pros and cons please :cDneyneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07356981584537564713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765024735576829637.post-87333380694166495852009-04-29T11:56:00.000-07:002009-04-29T11:56:00.000-07:00Alex,

You can a...Alex,<br />You are going to love your Kindle.<br />You can absolutely change the font, it has a built in dictionary, the only down side to mine is that I still need a booklight if I want to read in the dark in bed. It is the best electronic purchase I have ever made. If you get cell phone service where you live you should have no problem downloading your books. Have fun with it.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299112652466684499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765024735576829637.post-34362877273868744322009-04-29T06:01:00.000-07:002009-04-29T06:01:00.000-07:00My biggest concern is that I live in the middle of...My biggest concern is that I live in the middle of nowhere (literally :) but before I bought it Amazon promised that I could download without problems, so we'll see. My biggest hope is that I can change the font...when you get old like me then you need to be able to make the words BIGGGGGG!Alexandra Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056022332455083356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765024735576829637.post-23653650808041722232009-04-29T04:56:00.000-07:002009-04-29T04:56:00.000-07:00I've been considering taking the plunge and gettin...I've been considering taking the plunge and getting one too.
