I was in the same boat with my Kindle. It set for months until I took a trip. It went along and I found that I loved it. It was so nice to have books in my hand without all the bulk.

Made me rethink my non-Kindle household. Now my finger is hovering over that One-Click button too.

Thanks for the fun Kindle post. My son bought me a Kindle for my birthday and I’ve loaded it up with samples, one free book and bought the rest, including Kindle editions of favorite books. I met a reader at NinCon in St. Pete who had her massive Kindle library archived and organized by subject, genre and her rating. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. However, I’ve yet to move one of my read books to that fabled archive place. Where the heck is that? What page in the Help? Yikes. Melinda’s Kindle is my second eReader, a Rocket being my first. Still have that one. Haven’t read on it in about five years. Wonder if it will still boot . . .
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMelinda

I really enjoyed your article.

I also love my Kindle.

Happy Reading of all kinds!

I’ve resisted the lure of the e-reader so far – I read e-books on the computer screen which is far from ideal! Mmm I have to say after your post, I’m terribly tempted!

:)

I now have a Kindle, but I haven’t caught up with my nightstand reading! As soon as I do, I’m all over learning that sucker ;) Still don’t know if I agree with the times they are a changin’ Having one foot stuck in the La Brea tar pit is kind of nice, after all.

I bought a new generation at the beginning of December, loaded some stuff, read those directions…and seem to have misplaced the danged thing. I can’t for the life of me figure out what I did with it. And the new skin for the Kindle came a week ago…

I have an OLD RCA and an iPad. I use the Kindle program a LOT. I’ve downloaded a ton of free books and I’ve bought a tremendous amount. I love the sneak peek option. It’s made me pick up and buy more new authors than I have in years. I still have my keepers in paperback/hardback and a few books I can’t get electronically, but I buy twenty ebooks for every ‘one’ paperback I purchase these days.

It’s amazing! I still love paper books, but am embracing the new digital age. Funny, I blogged about this today!

So glad your Kindle was not dead! That would be depressing, for sure!

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 17:28:27 +0000 http://www.ninc.com/blog/?p=6788#comment-16755 Interesting post, Dianne. I had a meltdown at Christmas deciding whether to get my 11-year-old an iPad. She loves to read. Should I just get her a Kindle? Would I turn her away from the printed page forever? Would I spoil her rotten?

We opted to get her an iPad and I also gave her a print copy of “Little Women.” She loves the book. She downloaded a free copy of “Little Women” onto her iPad. So far, she’s sticking with the print version. She doesn’t like changing back and forth because she has to find her place in the ebook after she has read some in the print version.

Like you, I think we can all be in both worlds. There are advantages to each.

By the way, she splurged and bought Pages, the word processing software for iPad, and is writing a story.

And I downloaded a free ebook of an RWA friend’s when it was featured as a free download (can’t remember if that was on Amazon, Barnes and Noble site or where). I started reading it but didn’t continue–just am not that attracted to electronic reading yet.)

So be sure to check for all the free downloads that are offered and advertised and change daily.

Cathy
