A to Z Challenge ~E~ Ereader

~E~
Ereader

     I'm a book nerd, a book addict...I LOVE books. To some that means that you can only "love" a real book, binding, pages etc. BUT I have to say I LOVE my Kindle ereader too. It is portable & useful. On my kindle I can carry an entire library full of books, fun apps, games & with wifi connection a mini computer.
    I understand some people detest the ereaders. And that's ok. But don't fault those of us who use them. They are a very useful tool & I have my sweet son to thank for mine. He won some money at a casino & gave me the money to go get myself a Kindle Fire. Mama was very happy ;)
      So, although I still adore the smell of an old book with a soft worn leather cover & I'll never tire of browsing libraries or book stores for hours (no, really, HOURS, ask my kids) I have come to appreciate the value of a Kindle & say "open your mind"  if you're an ereader hater. They have their place.
Not to mention I'm an uber-cheapstake & LOVE all the free books you can get online on the Kindle! I have approx. 1,600 books on my Kindle & have only paid for about 5 of them.
Not a bad deal, right?

  1. Thank you for dropping in. Wanted to tell you the parrots you commented on are Monk Parakeets, also known as Quaker Parrots.
    They live less than a mile from me, but they are starting to drop in at my feeders. They are LOUD!
