I heart my Kindle

So I bought a Kindle e-reader today.  Let me tell you that it is fo-shizzle.  I am not getting paid by Amazon.com for saying this, but this has to be the best reader out there. While I am in CONUS (Continental United States for those non-Military folks ;-) )  I get free 3G access (Thanks AT&T!!!) and it is Wi-Fi capable.  It takes merely seconds for me to download a new book.  I made sure to get as many books as possible so that I can't get bored on airplanes.  You can download games for it too, but I am not really into that.  The main reason that I went with the Kindle and not the Nook (by Barnes & Noble) is the free book selection and the fact that Amazon has converted some of my textbooks to Kindle format.  So (ensh Allah) I can try to take some college classes if I have time.  I only have three course and a disertation left for my Masters.  I know I have really been slacking.  Oh well.  The only con that goes with the Kindle and other e-readers (except for the I-Pad, but thats not only an e-reader) is that there is no backlight.  This means that you need a reading light at night.  The plus side to that is that I have a month's standby on my Kindle.  The book that I am reading right now is "Becoming Batman" I am about 30% done and will right about when I am finished.  But it basically explores if it is scientifically possible for a human being to become Batman in a life time.  Pretty Sweet huh? 

Stay Frosty,

JoJo

  1. Well crap, my Kindle broke on the way there. Amazon is sending me a replacement free of charge. So that is good. I hope to get it by 8 November!
