Especially with the new iPad on the market. See I keep trying to explain to him the Kindle has been on my mind for a while. I almost got the Kindle instead of my ipod Touch last year. Whenever I win a swagbuck it still crosses my mind. I read a lot and think it would be so cool to have something that holds thousands and thousands and books. Urban fiction, self help, mystery whatever I am in the mood to read. Right at my fingertips. What do you think? The facts that caught my eye:

  • you can use it to read books, magazines, newspapers and blogs!
  • it can read all of these different formats to you
  • it’s completely wireless so I would not have to remember to grab any extra cords
  • from what I have seen it looks light and thin

The price is what has me not sure $259 is a lot of money. But I could save up for it. I am sure I would use it.  The kids too. Does anyone have a Kindle or any type of ebook? I would love to know what you think. I am thinking with all the people hopping on the iPad bandwagon I just might find a gently used ebook reader :)
