I was taking a little break at work. I don’t smoke during my breaks, I want to live a little while longer. Instead I was going through my blogroll and was reading my one of my favorites, JenX67. (Who is fast becoming one of the leading voices of Generation X quoted and interviewed in all sorts of national and regional publications. She says: “I write about Gen X at the four-way stop of faith, culture, career, and family.”)
She was reviewing a book on the topic and wrote: “I downloaded Kindle for PC on Amazon for free and purchased the book for 99 cents. You can do the same.”
Hey, I’ve been wanting a Kindle in the worst way but I’ve been having trouble justifying it. I mean I hardly ever buy books. I get them from the library and turn them back in. I do however buy inexpensive books. I’ve noticed that Amazon sells lots and lots of decent books for 99 cents. How they can afford to do that, I don’t know. Go to the download page here.
Do you you have an iphone or an ipod touch? There is a Kindle Ap here.
I’ve got books on my ipod touch but I find reading them to be an unsatisfying experience. The reader I use doesn’t give you any sense of where you are in the book. I mean, when you are reading in bed, trying to figure out how many pages to the end of the chapter is important.
Do you have $259 to burn? Check out the Amazon Kindle here.
I really think I’d like one of those. But, I want it for free! LOL!
I have the app d/l’d on my iPhone. But, I haven’t really used it yet. I’ve got “real” books that need to be read first.
I’m willing to give the app a try at some point.
I have a little blog award for you! =)
I’d like to try a Kindle, but I’m way too cheap to buy one.
And reading books on the regular computer isn’t appealing to me. I’ll just stick to real books for awhile longer.
Hi Yogi, I have had a Kindle since Nov and LOVE it. It’s easy on the eyes, lightweight, and functional. I thought maybe I’d miss the paper, but no way! I’m hooked.
I’m a book fanatic and totally addicted to reading. Part of the pleasure for me is holding a pristine book and being able to “flick” through the pages to “cheat” a little if I feel like it.
I got a Kindle for Christmas and my stepdad put me on his account. I automatically had 70 books in the archives to choose from.
Point is – if you get a Kindle think about sharing an account if you read the same stuff.
