We Had Twins!


If you haven't heard of or seen a Kindle - put it at the top of your "gotta do" list. This gadget is amazing. So amazing we bought a his and hers.

It is a neat, sleek ebook reader by Amazon. See how thin and small?

It can hold about 1500 books from Amazon's 250,000 Kindle bookstore. They download instantly (and free) anywhere you can catch a cell phone signal (no need to hook up to a computer!) There are buttons to press to turn pages, search text, etc. It can even read aloud to you!

Kindle books ordered through Amazon run from 99 cents to $9.99 for best sellers. You can get all the Standard Works of the Church for $4.00!!

The device also allows you to type in notes as you read.

Overall it is a great tool! It should prove to be a fantastic addition to our travel gadgets and take POUNDS off Gene's luggage weight - he's been known to travel with HARD BACK books that take up the majority of his luggage weight allowance.

A Kindle 2 will set you back about $350 - but well worth it if you're an avid reader (especially an avid on-the-go reader). Oh one more thing that makes it a good buy - FREE SHIPPING!

(Note - I do NOT work for Kindle or Amazon)
