For you book lovers!

I very rarely watch Oprah, but I ended up catching last Fridays episode. She introduced this new gadget and if you are a book lover, you are about to fall in love all over again! What is this gadget you ask?



It is the Kindle... no not candle, but Kindle! What is so special about this and why would a book lover like this? Think ipod, but for books. Yes, this gadget downloads books, magazines, newspapers. The print looks just like the print you would see in a book. It is it's own mini computer, because you do not need a computer in order to use it. All you do is browse the thousands of books available, choose the book, and it downloads in minutes right then and there... in a waiting room and you need something new to read... in minutes you will have your new book! This gadget is pricey, but so was the ipod when it first came out. Yes, you buy the books, but all books never go over $9.99. Sick of all the magazines you have piled up? Download it on the Kindle. Does your newspaper always come to your door damaged? Download it on the Kindle. Reading your book and come across a word you don't know? The Kindle will give you the definition! You like to listen to music while you read? The Kindle does it. The Kindle itself can hold 400 books, but if you buy a memory card your Kindle can now hold thousands more!



No I am not one of the lucky few who now own this, but being the tech gadget freak I am, I am really aching for one! I love to read and my bookshelves are crammed with books! Yes I do go to the library to check out my books, but not all of them are easy to put in a purse or bag. Sometimes I just like to buy the book. I now don't have to find places for CD's and now I can do the same with books, magazines, and newspapers!
