My Kindle Love

You know how you come across things and wonder, how did I ever live without this?  Well I feel this way about my Kindle.  So when it came to me recommending something I love, I would have been remiss to not mention the Kindle next.  It’s lightweight, easy to read on (thank you e-Ink and no-glare screen), compact, handy, and I really could go on and on.

When the Kindle 3 was announced, I quickly ordered one and scrambled to find my Kindle 2 a good home.  It found a great home, and I was thrilled with my new purchase.  Amazon has dropped the price of the newest e-reader quite a bit from when I purchased the Kindle 2, opening it up to an even wider audience of people who could justify purchasing it.

I know that a lot of you are saying to yourself that you can’t imagine not holding a book in your hands, and I thought the same thing.  However, I can honestly say that I haven’t missed this feeling at all since owning my Kindle.  In fact, when I have a book I want to read that I don’t have electronically, I find myself putting off reading it because it’s so bulky to hold and transport.

As for the cost of Kindle books, Amazon often runs special deals on books, so you can be on the look out for a great price.  Also, you can get tons of books for free, including most classics.  Even better, Amazon is starting to allow the borrowing of e-books, so you can share books between your friends and family members.  (My Kindle is registered on the same Amazon.com account as my mom’s and my sister’s Kindles, allowing us to share books that we buy.)  It’s fabulous!

You can personalize your e-reader with great covers that make it feel as if you’re holding a book.  There are also a huge variety of skins you can put on your Kindle to tailor it to your aesthetic.  Below are a few links:

Amazon Kindle Website – For purchasing Kindles, Kindle Books, and Kindle Accessories
Oberon Designs – Leather Covers
DecalGirl – Skins for Everything

Trust me, if you’re in the market for an eReader, you will not regret this purchase.  Enjoy!

**Author’s note – as the years have passed, so have the available Kindles, so head over to Amazon’s (above) website and check out all of the versions that are out there – it’s truly an amazing product!

    I love mine too! I have the Kindle 3, which is my first, and I love it…and as much as I love books I also don't miss holding a real book. The Kindle is much easier to hold in one hand and turn a page with one hand than a real book since I'm usually holding a child in the other hand!

    I couldn't agree with you more. (That's no surprise, is it?) I haven't regretted having a Kindle (either 2nd or 3rd generation) at all. My Kindle 2 was a gift from my wonderful family, and is the best gift I ever received (other than some awesome sentimental things that my talented daughters have made for me). My Kindle 3 is spectacular for all of the reasons that you mentioned. Don't get me wrong. I still love paper books (especially cookbooks and coffee table books), but I NEVER leave home without my Kindle, and I always have several books in progress, as well as a huge to-be-read collection waiting for me.

  • Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! Today is a day to celebrate all of the beautiful relationships in your life. I'll admit I do think this day is a bit of a commercial one, because we ought to show our love for each other every day. But I'll happily do it today too!
♥️
I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. ♥️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. ♥️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. ♥️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. ♥️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.
♥️
What are your big plans tonight? Netflix and chill, going somewhere fancy or hanging with your friends and family?
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd ♥️to know!
