That said I was so glad to hear your point of view, because I agree and feared I would spend the money and hate it. I'll just keep my books for now. Loving 1000 gifts!

The only thing it has going for it is the Ipad, mini toiletries & of course the swivel chair.ragamuffinbeautieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034671787377778170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-43129448325846862292011-03-02T13:46:18.174-08:002011-03-02T13:46:18.174-08:00I LOVE my kindle, but I do most of my reading whil...I LOVE my kindle, but I do most of my reading while side-lying breastfeeding, so the light factor really got me. I especially love the one handed page turning, how light it is, and that I can buy a new book while I'm lying there.<br /><br />And we discussed getting an iPad instead, but heard rumors about a new one coming out soon (we were right) and wanted to wait for that.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787669216659198420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-60221961462845166392011-03-02T10:35:50.899-08:002011-03-02T10:35:50.899-08:00my first thought upon opening my birthday gift was...my first thought upon opening my birthday gift was <br />DAMMIT.

I just love how a book feels. So many things in my life are electronic, noisy, and bright. A book is calming. A book feels good in my hands.<br /><br />And also, technology scares me just a little bit.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633567497855803555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-9683052078511471282011-03-02T07:53:14.068-08:002011-03-02T07:53:14.068-08:00I'm OK with technology and advancement and all...I'm OK with technology and advancement and all that. But I'm not willing to let go of the look, feel and smell of a good book. I'll lug around the extra weight any day.

I got one as a birthday present and was pretty psyched about taking it on our honeymoon. alas - i have yet to use it. a full 7 months later. call me crazy but books have my heart and there is nothing better than a well worn copy of your favorite story to make you feel good.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303620966975288844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-86698456417374376952011-03-02T07:46:19.550-08:002011-03-02T07:46:19.550-08:00I'm glad to hear my opinion voiced.

I suppose it's convenient...and it is nice when I travel internationally, as last time I flew to Rome I had to pack 3 or 4 paperbacks to last me the whole trip. But still. I love the feel of paper. The crackling of a book spine. And my goodness, the smell of paper does me right in. I'm the strange one you see on the plane sniffing a new magazine before reading it. So um, yeah, I'm trying to be a good sport. I bought a new, super cute cover for my Kindle, which helped. But I'll still buy good old fashioned books.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224954245897781948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-76694615512163838402011-03-02T07:05:13.870-08:002011-03-02T07:05:13.870-08:00I wrote about my thoughts on my Kindle after I'...I wrote about my thoughts on my Kindle after I'd had it a few months.

I read book after book after book on plane flights, and I love that I don't have to carry around 5-6 books to keep myself occupied. <br /><br />That being said, I still read old-fashioned books, especially when they're not on Kindle, or are cheaper than the kindle version.Lauren {Adventures in Flip Flops}https://www.blogger.com/profile/03154585267593293455noreply@blogger.com
