My Boys Got Me An Amazon Kindle For Father’s Day!
I have two of the most awesome boys. They love their dad (or at least I guess they do) and continue to respect me and solicit my opinion on life decisions. For my thoughts on them, read THIS POST and THIS POST.
This Father’s Day they gave me an incredible gift from the money they earned this summer. They chipped in together and gave me an Amazon gift certificate to buy a Kindle. If you are not familiar with my new toy, a Kindle is a book reader that can store hundreds of books on it. The books are usually less expensive. Since I read multiple books at a time, this allows me to always have the books I am reading with me.
I put off buying one for several months, because I couldn’t decide between the small or the large version. My friend Wayne Hastings with Thomas Nelson had his out one day and when I held the smaller one in my hand I knew that was the one I wanted. I ordered it that night and have loved using it.
If you read a lot of books I highly recommend you consider a Kindle. Christmas is coming you know!
Do you have a Kindle? Do you think you would like one?

Ron, I’ve had one for several months now. Although I don’t read as much as you do I can’t say enough good things about it to always have you book in a slim and easy to carry form. Get a light for it so you can read in the dark, when you get a little older you will understand this more! And like you said the leather case makes it feel like a high quality book cover. The only downside, in public it is hard to read since so many folks ask what you are doing.
The only other downside of reading in public is that I have a Bible on my Kindle and often that’s what I’m reading. People see me with my Kindle and never see me with a “Bible”. I do still read it, just many times now I’m reading it electronically!
Thanks Ron for sharing! This helps me alot!
I don’t think I’d like one. I love the feel of a book in my hands — especially an old one with a buttery soft leather cover.
Teri, I have a leather cover for mine and when I hold it I feel as if I’m holding a book.
