This just came:

It’s my new Amazon Kindle. Blake got one last week and we were both blown away with it. I never thought I’d be one to adapt to an electronic reading device, suffice it to say I’m as excitedly converted as I am with my new iMac!

This screen shot explains the technology/look of the pages on the Kindle. It really is so page like that you easily forget it’s not a real paper page! Bear in mind that this image is taken with my camera on no flash (photo folks know how much harder it is to get a clear shot with that setting), has already gone through a conversion to a smaller low-quality image and you’re seeing it on a computer screen….and it still looks AMAZING!

Some of the things that really excite me about this are:
* I can take my own notes as I go
* I can easily search for that favorite quote, line, etc.
* I can go look up a word while reading without losing my place
* I can own and read thousands of books without needing a gazillion book shelves
* I can have books instantly and they cost much less than paper copies
* I can carry it and ALL that with me anywhere

So that’s my short list and intro…now I’m off to READ!
