I've got it working now. The books I ordered on my computer got to my Nook in about 7 minutes. What I am having problems with is 'waking' it up. I have a free book I am going to sit and read a bit now.

I took my Kindle to the gym with me today and read while I was walking on the treadmill (only place that I can read while walking) It makes the walking go by a lot faster, and I think I walk more when I get lost in a book. I really do think I read more since I got my Kindle. I've been downloading a lot of fan fiction off the internet (fan fiction = stories written by fans for tv shows or movies) Right now I'm trying to find as many Zorro stories as I can find, and the occasional Hawaii-Five 0 stories. I copy/paste them into Word and then convert them into kindle files and read.

I'm filling my Kindle up with fan fic. Keeps me from being bored when I cant find anything interesting on Amazon to read. (and saves me money, fan fiction is free)

I cant wait till next month. I pre-ordered a book from Amazon. (a Warehouse 13 novel....W13 is a tv show on Syfy channel). I cant wait to wake up one morning and have a new book just show up on my Kindle. I've only pre-ordered a book once before, I'm all excited about it. Especially since I've never seen a novel for Warehouse 13 before.

My dad has magazine subscriptions on his Kindle (Reader's Digest) He really loves to get a new issue every month. He really likes to sit outside and read his Kindle.

Only thing wrong with all the reading material I have in my Kindle, is that I tend to have more than two or three books that I'll be reading. I dont always finish a book before starting a new one. I take turns on which book I want to read some days.

Wahoo! im so proud of you guys! reading is such great fun, and will keep your mind active and busy.

Ok got it all fixed, by myself (I hate techs) and am reading my first dime/99c mystery..

Well I was reading at 2am when I shoulda been sleepin... I like the bookmark option, then, if I don't wait too long, I can start reading where I left off.

I hope you are enjoying your new Nook, Doyds.. I like that I can read laying down and not have to hold a heavy book open.

I have a lot of expensive books here I havent read because of that and my old eyes aint what they usta be.

I wish there was an option, somehow to convert the books I've already purchased, to kindle, for FREE!!!

Thank you Doydie and all for helping me out so much. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks..

I wish I could do that with my older paperback books....convert them to the Kindle for free.

Technically, I could, but it would involve an Exacto knife, a scanner and a lot of patience. I dont have the patience.

Maybe Amazon would work out a trade. I could send them my books and they could transfer the kindle versions to my kindle. They could resell my used books for almost new and make out like bandits.
