Truthfully, I would rather stay on the THE GAUNTLET discussion but I do have a question or two...........

Kindles--I think you, Kate, love to read even more than I do and of course, read things that are far better for your mind!!  I know you have a kindle so my question to you and to your loyal followers is...is it a worthwhile investment?  Should I not feel guilty about using that instead of purchasing books?  Is it easy to use?  How expensive are e-books (keep in mind, I read popular fiction). 

When we went to Hawaii I took (as I do on every vacation) a stack of books for the beach, for the plane, for sitting in airports, etc.  Lots of books, lots of extra weight.  The good news is that I left everything I read there for my friends to read and they will, in turn, take them to their local library book sale. Bad news is I bought a stack more for the return trip. I noticed more and more people with Kindles and have really been considering it.  I also saw that the price has really dropped.

SO, after you post on Kate’s Gauntlet post, tell me your thoughts...........good and bad.  Any suggestions, comments, criticisms will be appreciated.  If I decide I want one, then it goes to the top of my Christmas or birthday list as both my sons like ‘lists’ and never know what to get me!!

Ciao’
