    They are that good? Hmmm, I am glad I got that type. I was thinking it would be a little pain in the ass. Is it okay for me to do that? I will probably use any code that gives a discount on books or periodicals. Okay I will.

    If I forget pm me in about two weeks.

    Well I am no kid so we will see after two or three months. I want to revisit some books I read when I was young and don't want to purchase them. So after a few of those it pays for the device since I believe many books are free.

    what is most amazing is the way these things are but togethe and disigned by kindle, this is not at all some stupid IPHONE, PAD etc. etc..

    With this devise the feel of the words on the page and what the authors try to do in a book is maintained on a Kindle..its not turning pages but it feels like you are reading a book, you cozy up, you go page by page, you feel like your relaxed reading..but you have many many books on your machine, and magazines..you will love it...

    HP touchpad went on sale couple days ago and it has the kindle app on it. I got mine for $99. Hard to find now. I got mine a few hours after they went on sale and it was the last one.

    I got the wifi and love it. Books on kindle are so much cheaper. It is so much better than a book. No straining of the eyes. Get the book "portrait of a monster" its the natalee holloway mystery. Also get the the book "unbroken". Two books you wont be able to put down. Good luck and enjoy
