Review: Kindle

A few months ago, I mentioned that I would like a Kindle Wireless Reading Device , but I didn’t want to spend the money on one. Which is why people have birthdays — so their family can spoil them with things they would never spend the money on, but want just the same.

Yes, today is my birthday and my very extravagant gift is a Kindle Wireless Reading Device . My dear husband couldn’t wait, so he gave it to me early and I’ve been playing with it for a couple weeks now. I love it.

I didn’t know how nice it would be to read and not worry about flipping pages when one arm is entwined around a cranky toddler who will only fall asleep if held in a certain way (which she determines). I only need to press a button and the page flips for me.

The Kindle Wireless Reading Device is light-weight and easy to hold. My next favorite thing about it is that I can increase the text size with the push of a button. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to read text on a page. I am able to increase the text size so I can easily read the text without a problem.

One of the reasons I held back from the Kindle was the fact that I didn’t want to spend $9.99 on books. After a few searches, I found there are tons of free books available for the Kindle. Some are classics and in the public domain, others are new books that are made available briefly at no cost. I am also able to use a converter to borrow e-books from our library to read on my Kindle Wireless Reading Device .

This is probably going to be remembered as one of my favorite birthday gifts. Thank you, honey!!
