We had a great time at the lake this weekend with friends but it is kind of nice to be home finally sitting down and relaxing a bit. There are clothes in the washer, a clean, sleeping dog, two clean kids (one sleeping!)and unpacked suitcases. I am settling in for some mind numbing reality TV and some internet surfing!
I am enjoying my Kindle. I have only downloaded free books at this point (most of the classics are public domain and therefore free) and some samples of some new releases. I haven't had a problem at all transitioning to reading from the screen - it really does look like a book page with ink since there is no backlight. I was worried since I don't really comprehend well when I read on the computer but I have been pleasantly surprised. The biggest problem I have is trying to turn the page when I am done rather than hitting the next page button. I must say as soon as I get the hang of finding the books I want I am going to be a complete and total Kindle fan. The only thing I miss so far is being able to browse the shelves - browsing online isn't quite the same. But I figure I can browse the physical shelves at the bookstore and the library and then load up my Kindle with the good stuff I find.
I am off to check Facebook, watch some TV and chill out...

Why do I somehow suspect that that relaxing didn't last long? :) Hope you manage to fit in more evenings like that though...you deserve them, busy lady!
Glad to hear your thoughts on the Kindle... I'm still on the fence about e-readers in general. I just love the feel of a book, not to mention my favorites sitting on my bookshelves :) I love gadgets though, so I really vascillate on the whole subject. Would love to hear more after you've used it a while longer :)
Have a great day!
