Re: Amazon Kindle

Well, I know I was sceptical of the joys of the Kindle.....but I have just bought one!
How's that for a turn around?
What made me buy one? Well, I read quite a lot when I go to bed. I can't seem to get to sleep unless I have about half an hours(minimum) read. Recently I have been reading the CJ Sansom novel, Revelation a gruesome murder mystery set in Tudor times. It is quite a thick book, and it made my reading arm go to sleep about 30 minutes before I did.
So I went and checked out the Kindle again.......decided to take the plunge and buy one.

I have only had it a couple of days so I can't say that I love it......yet, but I am sure the convenience and the lightness of it will win me over in the end.

Just as an aside, I fretted that it would not be acceptable to the children(no colour, no pictures).......but Miss Bossy drawers is thrilled with and has spent every evening after school for the last couple of days reading on it......Spindles is interested too!
