On my birthday last November, JC surprised me with a brand new Kindle.
I've always loved to read, but in the short time since then, I've read 52 full length books, probably more than I had read in the previous three or four years combined.
The Kindle is truly a magical device, I was going to call it a toy, but it's much more than that. It easily downloads books in just a few minutes from the Amazon website on 3G, it has a built in browser so you can access web sites, it archives the books you've read in Amazon's “cloud” so you can download them and re-read them if you want. It has speakers and a headphone jack so you can play music while you read or listen to audio books.
Amazon offers hundreds of free books with a new list of selections every day. I have over 80 unread novels stored on my little, skinny Kindle, and it still weighs the same and doesn't take up any more shelf space than it did the day I unwrapped it.
It's a godsend on these rainy, wintery days to be able to curl up on my recliner with a couple of dogs for warmth, a glass of wine nearby, and read, read, read.
