And I do like the idea of having access to a book instantaneously. It seems like I’m always scrambling for book club selections at the last minute. Either I’ve waited too late to order a used one from Amazon or I don’t have time to make the trek to an actual bookstore. I try to use the library, too, but often the book is already checked out or I have to return it before I’m finished. At least with a Kindle or any other e-reader, I could get a book the instant I thought about it … even if it was the middle of the night!

It was a surprise to receive since I hadn’t asked for it, or even really thought I needed it. I used the iPhone app, which I can honestly say doesn’t even touch the real thing. Just finished up my first book on it this morning. Now I don’t feel like I have to ‘stock up’ on books when I go to the big city – they are all at my fingertips!
