We love it! It’s perfect for the expat! And we have the 1st generation. I’m quite sure the 2nd generation and the new Kindle DX are even better and faster. The only drawback is that we can’t share books with someone else. Well, without loaning them the Kindle…;)

So, after a few more months of use, do you still highly recommend the Kindle?

I remembered that you now had a Kindle when I came across this tidbit:
ESV Available for Free on Amazon’s Kindle
Coinciding with Amazon’s release of the Kindle 2 , we are pleased to announce free access to the ESV text for all Kindle or Kindle 2 users.

Yup. I go to Amazon, buy the book, go to my kindle management page, find the book I just bought, select “download file to computer” and transfer it via usb cable. Pretty simple! I’m going to do some Kindle reading before bed now!

Hey – I have been thinking of buying a kindle. Thanks for this post! I wasn’t quite sure how it would work overseas. So, you just download to a file in your computer and upload via usb cable? Any other helpful hints? I will probably get one in the next 2-3 months.

How ironic. I just made yogurt in the crockpot for the first time a couple days ago. I’ll post about it soon. Wow! Isn’t it so much tastier than the store bought version?

how fun! Those things look cool but I had never met anyone that had one – thanks for the review! I always thought it would be like looking at a computer screen – it really seems cool!

Okay, I want a Kindle, but Ryan will really want the cheese making kit! Oh, and I made yogurt in the crock pot and it was a complete sucess!

That is sooo awesome! Check out http://www.homeschoolfreebie.wholesomechildhood.com/ there are lots of free downloadable books that are in pdf format, so i don’t know if that will work. They have lots of silly, funky, vintage and out of print books and all manner of print media. Subscribe and you get a preview each week. We had fun with…Hand shadow books, 1930′s radio theatre, historical stories of courage, etc

Ah the Kindle! I just learned of this amazing creature at Christmas time this year. I think it is an AWESOME invention. I may have to look into one myself. I guess to justify it I would need to read the pile of books beside my bed first. Happy reading!!
