Amazon Kindle Review

After being bed-ridden and in pain, I’m finally back on my feet and I’m trying the best I can to not over-do it. I have to hand it to my doctor. He’s the only one that has put all his time and effort into helping me through this, explaining every little detail and why things work like they do, and most importantly, being aggressive on getting handle on the pain so that I’m comfortable. Every single time I walk out of his office I’m reassured that I will get through this, no matter what it takes or how long it takes. I do feel like I’m getting a little of “me” back … baby steps.

Ok, now, onnnnnnnn to the gadgets. I’m a gadget whore, and anyone who knows that this would be coming soon.

I got the Amazon Kindle!

I have a lot to say about this little device. It’s totally and completely amazing. It has electronic paper instead of an LCD screen and it can hold a change for 2-4 days. My list of great things the Amazon Kindle can do.

1. You can download books right from Amazon Web Site and most of the Kindle books are half price of what the actual book would cost.
2. It’s so thin and so light. I don’t have to lug around all those java and xcode books around anymore. I just put them on my Kindle!
3. It’s so easy to read. No more trying to keep the page open so you can read the words that seem to trail all the way down into the spin. Ugh, I hated that, especially in bed
4. The Kindle is going to pay for itself with the amount of books I get from Amazon (and now having all those books with me all at one .
5. You can change the text size in the book so for those of us who are used to squinting. There is a setting there for all times.

And … Bedtime
