I love to read. Anyone who knows me, knows this. I am a member of paperbackswap.com and bookcrossing.com which is how I get many of my books. I also challenge myself to read 50 books a year over at 43things.com . There are a few other book sites I am a member of as well.
I recently acquired 5 new books from paperbackswap much to my husband's dismay. I do remind him that those books cost me nothing and when I am finished with them, I will be putting them back on the available list for someone to take off my hands, with the only cost to me being postage (mediamail) to mail them to their new owners.
Now, I am the proud owner of a Kindle! Yes..I can have more than one book on my possession at any one time. Already I have downloaded 2 books (both free ones) from authors I had not read before. My Kindle is a wi-fi one, but not 3G and man, I am impressed with how fast books are downloaded. I can't wait to really start using it, because honestly, I think I should probably try to read the books on my nightstand so I can move them on to new homes soon, then start getting deep into the Kindle, but who knows.
I've been perusing message boards and such looking for tips and advice on Kindle use to get the most out of my reader. I love the fact that it will fit into most of the purses I have and I won't have to worry about losing my page. I just won't be able to take it into the bathtub with me to read. I'll have to stick to paperbacks for that. LOL
I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!

I'm trying my hardest to figure out how to use my Literati. The instructions that came with it are really vague. VERY vague to tell you the truth! But, I do have 25 free books already on it. That were loaded by the manufacturer. My mind frame is just not in the mood for trying to learn a new tech toy!
