Christmas came and went. So much preparation -- anticipation -- planning -- and suddenly it is over -- company goes home -- all the decorations have to be taken down and put away so that we are ready to begin a new year with a clean slate.
I got a Kindle this year -- the basic model. I enjoy reading books so much -- I use the public library -- I seldom purchase books because I ran out of shelf space a long time ago. I have put 15+ books on my Kindle, including the Bible and a dictionary. Haven't read any of them, yet, but am experimenting with the download process. Quick and easy! I think I will enjoy using it, especially when I travel. I have explored checking e-books out from the public library -- that may be an interesting way to go. One doesn't have to worry about keeping up with the library copy or about due dates. When the book is due it disappears off of the Kindle.
Only problem may be I won't have a pile of books on my night stand and I may get panicky. The Kindle just doesn't LOOK like a pile of books. It is hard to look at it, to hold it, and translate the small size and light weight into a good supply of reading materials. As with all new things, it will take some getting use to!
How was your Christmas? What was your favorite gift?

I've had my Kindle for over a year and love it! My favorite gift was a tie between two books with all kinds of block patterns in them (sort of an encyclopedia of quilt blocks) and a nice gift certificate for books for my Kindle!
