Amazon Kindle Lights My Heart...

I think I'm falling in love again... I just got my Amazon Kindle delivered today! I feel so... ah, what's that feeling, yes, young again, free again, in love. I'm the worst kind of kid with a new toy, an electronic toy and first in my Starbucks to get one, I'll bet. Except I don't go to Starbucks anymore, I'm getting ordinary coffee at Einstein's Bagels, but that's another story.

What I love about the Kindle: Instant free downloadable samples of books. When you decide which to buy, you order them onto your Kindle for about $10, and you get books instantly delivered via the wireless connection to your Kindle.

There's instant access to newspapers and magazines, and even blogs if I wanted to pay the $.99/month subscription to a blog i can read for free on my iPhone...huh?

What I don't love about the Kindle: I can't get my recent book purchases onto my Kindle without paying a $10 fee/per book.

I can access my Google calendar, send email through Gmail, visit Wikipedia and other favorite bookmarks... I can even listen to MP3 music or podcast files...it's like a mini-laptop. This is particularly great for traveling when I hate stuffing books into my purse because they weigh so much...

Hi Patsi,

I have been considering the Kindle for a long time, but it makes me think twice because I can't put my other ebooks on it.

I want a full reader. = (

The Kindle may have some drawbacks since it is an early product in this market, but it is an outstanding product and would be a great gift for anyone of any age.
