Kindle Love

I was having trouble getting out of bed Tuesday morning. I mean, SERIOUSLY having trouble getting out of bed. So, Terry comes up and tells me that he has something that might help wake me up. He happened to go out to Amazon.com and saw that they just dropped the price of the standard Kindle – by $70!!! So, yes, I have finally reached the breaking point, at which it makes sense to go for it. I have no more space on my bookshelves and no room to add more. And while I haven’t reached the end of the physical books that I have left to read, the significant change in price point and recent negative effect that holding physical books open has had on my wrists made it irresistible.

So, I have a Kindle, a case and a lovely skin for it, all for the same price as the Kindle less than a week ago.

So, here’s a shot of the front and back of my new (and newly skinned) Kindle:

The skin is called Moon Tree, from DecalGirl.com. They have hundreds and hundreds of skins for the Kindle 2, so it was quite difficult to make a decision, but this one kept grabbing my eye every time I saw it, so I bought it. It’s not on perfectly straight, but it’s mostly close. There might be some sort of art to applying the decals, but if there is, I don’t know it. 😉

Anyway, I’m tickled with it. I loaded a ton of free books onto it and started one today, even though I have other things that I should be reading.
