A very close friend asked my husband what he was getting me for our anniversary? John quickly told him a $500.00 gift card for the closet book store...maybe she'll have enough reading material to last a couple of days!!! Well once they wiped the tears from their eyes from laughing at my hobby Anthony quickly suggested he buy me a KINDLE . He said he'd done some research on it for my husband and thought that I'd enjoy an electronic book so I could not only read my new books anywhere,anytime but have all my favorites at my finger-tips. I've had my KINDLE since June and have downloaded a total so far of 230 books and believe I had to go sooooooooo long without one. I don't leave home without it and i love the 'READ TO ME FEATURE" so if I get to an exciting part I can let my KINDLE read to me while I drive. If you are a DIE-HARD reader get a ...KINDLE... it will be YOUR-NEW-BESTEST-FRIEND!!!!!Danielle
