Just got an additional Christmas present from my husband:  the newest Kindle!  As a voracious reader, I’ve always sneered at people who used them.  pooh! pooh! Then a librarian friend (not Rachel), mentioned that she had one and I was shocked at her poor taste!  She explained that it was a great convenience to be able to “carry” 500 books in her bag.  Put it like that, it didn’t sound too bad.  The latest version holds 3,500 books.  Right now I’m just going with the freebies; one book, Bet Me, by Jennifer Crusie, is $7.99, but you can get 3rd party sellers of the hard copy for about four bucks!  Well, I’m not Bill Gates and I’m not smokin’ crack…

but it sure is purty…
