Karosel - I just finished
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls!
I am now reading
A Team of Rivals, The Genius of Abraham Lincolnby Goodwin(?).
I use a Kindle 2 and it does not give the entire title or author name after I purchase it. It does (so contradictory) somewhere, I am just too lazy to figure it out later to put it into long term memory!
I love my Kindle. It recharges with electricity, simply plugging it into one of the outlet in my home. I can only purchase books through Amazon Kindle Books. Easy to google to see the choices are huge and the prices for books are much less than if I bought them new. Some older books can be purchased for $1.
Might be comparable to getting them slightly used.
I can look online by computer or by my Kindle. WiFi is built in so I can look anywhere, in a airline terminal or in a park, etc.
It loads a sample for free to read the beginning chapter or so. At the end, I can either buy the book or not. That is a cool feature. It holds a crazy amount of books.
It also had a built in dictionary. My favorite feature.
Cost is initially high but book costs and lightweight and convenience. Really it is simply amazing. (Can you tell I am VERY happy with it?)
