I got a Kindle for Christmas….yippeee! This will make reading more books even easier. Although I am usually a purist where books are concerned, where I love and appreciate the feel of the pages, the smell of a leather binding, etc., I have come to realize how foolish it is for me to carry around 50 lbs of books all of the time. I have been reading many books on programming for work, which I converted to the Kindle format, but I also got several others that I am looking forward to reading, such at Atlas Shrugged, THe Lord of the Rings, and Hackers. I was wavering between the iPad and the Kindle, but asked for the Kindle because I thought I would be able to read it longer (no glare).

And I can still have the computer manuals too…(not as fun but needed for income-producing purposes)
