Fred read my last entry and he is buying me a Kindle for my birthday!

I have it ordered, and it should be here by Wednesday.

{dances up and down in excitement}

When he offered to buy it for me, I told him I was thinking of getting it when the prices went down {as of course, they will} He pointed out to me that at my age I may be dead in a year or two! Yes, he is right. He is not being morbid. He is just stating a fact.

So, I am getting a Kindle!

:-))))))) you know, any of us could be dead in a year. Not morbid – a fact! Its the only thing any of us can be sure of in life … one day, we will be gone, we just don’t know when. 🙂 glad you are excited… now I have to go find out what a Kindle is. Reading backwards.

Oh, that Fred is a keeper! I am wanting one, too, because it would be oh so much more convenient to take places and I could keep books without them taking up space in my house. You will enjoy it so much! Congrats!

What a guy!! He’s a keeper for sure. I’m so dumb…I had never heard of a Kindle. I had to google it. But, now I want one and it’s your fault!!

Hhat a wonderful thing! Lovely of Fred to treat you like that.

May 4, 2008

See he is just a wonderful person. You are a very lucky lady! That sweet Fred.

how wonderful of fred to do that for you. and he’s right… we never know when our last day on earth will be. we just never know. so, i guess it’s best to go for the gusto while we can!! take care,

That is wonderful of Fred! I would love to know what you think of them, given my voracious reading habits, having one of those might not be a bad idea.

That Fred’s a real keeper! 🙂

I’m keeping my eye on those things. Yes I am. I understand you can subscribe to The New York Times, and have it deleivered to your Kindle every day. That’s a big plus for me… I like to read the NYT, but it’s hard to find a “paper copy” around here. I dislike reading it over the web for two reasons: One, the placement of the articles (and, sometimes, the articles themselves) change toomuch when I’m trying to read it. And, two, I can’t pick my PC up and take it with my while running errands, or on a bus ride. I also honestly think those things will be revolutionary for students. When I was in college, I had to buy tons of books every semester. This was quite expensive, and they were a real pain to carry around, and (sometimes) to keep track of. If every college student had a Kindle, they could keep their text books on that. I really think that the Kindle is “going places.” I don’t want to buy one now, because I want to wait for prices to be reduced, and I figure they’re probably going to make changes to it – refine it, etc. – after it’s been out awhile. If this thing is for real, though, I WILL be buying one, at some point.

Of course, if Fred wanted to buy a Kindle for me, too, I’d be more than happy to take it. :-p (just joking, of course)

May 4, 2008

What on earth is a Kindle???

May 4, 2008

Wow. I had to go back to the previous entry to find out what a Kindle is (what an interesting name!) Sounds like and interesting new techno-toy! Woot!

May 4, 2008

Fred is a darling! Now, I’m off to google kindle to see what it is.

May 4, 2008

Oh I want one!!!

Wow, now that’s a happy birthday! Good for Fred! And you, of course. 🙂 Have you started a to-read list yet?

May 4, 2008

He’s an awesome guy Patricia. And while he’s stating a fact, its still disturbing to think like that. Awesome that Fred got that for you though. 🙂

Yay for new toys! I’m jealous – Kindle had me drooling as soon as the buzz hit the tech sites.
