My Opinion? You Should All Have One. Because it’s new! And shiny! And fun!
My most amazing husband bought me an Amazon Kindle for Christmas – something I didn’t even know I wanted until I held it in my hands. I bought my first book (boxed set actually – the Sookie Stackhouse 8 Book Set) for about half the price of the non-digital books, I had them instantly and have been reading all day. A smash it considering I only brought one book on vacation with me and I finished it four days ago. It’s way easier to read than I thought anything digital would be (six print sizes to choose from and you can read in bright light). My only complaint is that because it’s not a backlit LCD screen but uses electronic ink placement instead, you can’t read in the dark so you need a booklight or headlamp or something if there’s no overhead light (for travel or sneak-reading in bed).
So, what books should I order next?
Do you have a kindle? Love it? Hate it? Want one?

Wow I didn’t know about the LCD screen not being visible in the dark, unless as you stated with a headlamp/book light! Still sounds like a very useful tool though, especially for reading!

I was the lucky recipient of a Kindle for Christmas too! I am devouring books! I have already read the Sookie Stackhouse series – hope you are loving them! My first purchase was the new Kinsey Milhone novel and right now i’m reading The Scarpetta Factor. I want to also read the latest Harry Potter. You know you can sample books too – I have used that feature to check out some books that I ultimately did not end up buying. I am amazed at how fast it is to get a book downloaded. I love it! Yay!
