My husband gave me the Kindle for my birthday and it was the best gift he ever gave me (for my birthday). Even better than my laptop! I have arthritis in my hands so holding books has been painful for me. The Kindle is lighter and easier to hold than a book, and I am so happy to be able to read, read, read. Thanks, honey, for the wonderful 58th gift you've given me for my birthday. Now you all can figure out when I met my husband, and how old I am!
