Getting used to my Kindle
I find my Kindle 3G easy to hold. It only weighs .2 ounces more than the cheaper Kindle and is as thin as a pencil. With the connectivity of the 3G and Wi-Fi, books download in mere seconds—amazing. So far, I’m sticking to free books because our budget is a tad tight now. I’ve downloaded six free books, read one, and am halfway through a second one. This is with taking breaks to play the free word game I downloaded, cook dinner, play with the dogs, write, and do laundry today.
I love that I can easily adjust the print size. I find a bit larger print keeps my eyes from tiring.
Gavin is not amused with it because I am reading and not paying constant attention to him. The dog thinks I have nothing better to do than cuddle and pet him. At least he hasn’t tried to snag the Kindle from my hand as he has books on occasion.
DH loves it because I don’t have to turn the light between our chairs on high to read. It is easy to read in low light.

The Kindle sounds great. Very good move to get the 3G version. Nothing like complete access coverage.
Enjoy~!
The extra $50.00 spent was well worth it to get complete access coverage.
Keys are small for seventy years old numb thumbs and fingers and retired New Mexico State Policeman. I have the same model Kindle and also have tried to concentrate on free books. There are so many free ones (I believe over 50K all told) but you have to get off the Kindle site to get most of them
Good luck to you and your husband. I’m in Albuquerque tommorow to find out if they will recommend more back surgery.
Say hello to the BTs for me.
🙂 Always glad to hear from police officers, DH is a retired on disability PO. Check out my About Me page. Good luck on the back surgery bit I hope all goes well. Come back any time!
Yes, the keys are VERY tiny. I admit I did buy a Kindle book the other day.
