Kindle is (has been) here!

It arrived on the 14th, as expected, and in my free time I've finished the series I was reading, started another fantasy series set in modern time, linked to my wife's account, and loaded up some Shakespeare. I'm stuck in the lurch with my previous series and next book won't be out for another year. I'll (have to) make due with other varieties of sci-fi and fantasy.

So, nothing special, just enjoying my Kindle and enjoying enjoying reading again. In itself that's one of the best things about the Kindle. For a long time I was not much of a pleasure reader. I attribute my lack of interest to a late diagnosis that I needed glasses. In reflection I can recall that I got terrible headaches when I read as a child. As a result I couldn't bear to read for very long and developed an aversion to it all together. I'm not sure how or why but a few years ago I started passively reading again and while I enjoyed it it wasn't near the top of my list of things to do for fun. I find the Kindle to be such an "easy read", and so terribly convienent, that reading is fun again. By "easy read" I mean that the gray background is "easy" on the eyes, even in bright light.

Well back to work. Later tonight I'll likely finish that book and simply download the next one. How great is that? No going to Borders or B&N. Awesome!
