Yes, I bought a Kindle….my Christmas present to me! I am working hard at amazon.com so I deserve it, right? And as seasonal employees we get a 10% discount. I bought the 3G + WiFi model so I don’t have to be at a Wi-Fi hotspot to download a book.
So now I’m checking out Listmanias for free or inexpensive Kindle books to download. There are a lot of independent authors who have put out books and they are surprisingly good according to the reviews I’ve read. Also I’d like to read some of the classics and they are readily available for free…Emerson, Thoreau, Longfellow, Whitman.
Having a Kindle certainly fits into the RV lifestyle – not having to carry around actual books. I promised Jim I would put myself on a “Kindle Budget”, for books my favorite authors put out every year. Usually I wait till we return to Colorado in the summer and I use our local public library to check out books I’ve been waiting to read. Now I can get “a few” while on the road and read them without adding any more weight to the rig.
Remember, you are loved.
We love our kindles and know you will too. Neat tobacco barn picture.
