I'm reading more, and reading a greater variety of material. There is something about having multiple books loaded on one device that makes me want to vary my reading options. If I can open up a biography and read a few pages and then decide to read the self-help book I can do it so easily, and yes, not lose my place in either when I decide to switch to the sci-fi novel. I was lucky. I read about them and thought it would possibly be useful, but I had planned on waiting to buy after they'd been on the market a while. Surprise! My sister bought me one for Christmas. Best gift ever, and my fears that it would be a tech toy that would gather dust does not seem to be the case. Yay! I have a Kindle and have found it great.

Doesn't seem fair. Maybe it's because you can't get Whispernet there yet, that's the wi-fi connection. Otherwise I'd offer to smuggle one to you somehow. Thanks for reading my review.

She knew that I have two how-to books for writers plus, of course, my Amazon Short (The Great First Impression Book Proposal) on Kindle. I don't yet have one (a little pricey and I'm not too geeky--yet!). So I appreciated the evaluation. I will be be publishing your URL in my newsletter (Sharing with Writers) so others who are interested can get the full story. From your point of view, of course. Anyway, thank you.
