Well. I take back every goofy, judgmental, biased word I ever said about Kindle. You know, about how we true bibliophiles prefer our real books, the feel and smell of the pages in our hot little hands.... blah, blah, blah.
Why? Because I am in love with my simple, limited-in-lots-of-ways Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader.
Gracious, after just a few days with that thing, I already have 103 free books on it! To me, that's like walking into a Barnes and Noble and being told that--if you search the shelves thoroughly--you'll find lots of free books, yours for the lugging away. But try finding space for 103 new books upon my shelves at home? No could do! Another wonderful thing about the Kindle--all those books stay inside my computer.
And well, I don't care what kind of a book lover you consider yourself--who doesn't love free books?
Anyway, Tom actually gets today off(!) so I'm going with him over to our previous suburb town where I'll shop Salvation Army while he gets his teeth cleaned. Maybe I'll discover some good old books there! But even if I don't, my 103 free books will be home waiting for me and God knows how grateful I am for that.

Remember to back them up on something besides your hard drive just in case you would lose your computer you would not lose your books. Best to you today. :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's gave me a Kindle for Christmas. I didn't think I'd ever want one, but I love it! I also download free books. Haven't paid for one yet. I was thrilled to discover that Amazon has the old classics free.

I have a Kindle Fire and I love it, but, on a cold, blustery night I'm going to want to snuggle up with my hot chocolate and a real book. P.S. I have also downloaded several of the same books you did. Dolores
