Re: Kindle
On my Kindle, I shopped the Kindle Store and typed in "Let's Do Lunch" and it was there! I tried when I first received my Kindle for Mother's Day and it wasn't there yet. If you don't have a Kindle, you get it at Amazon.com. They are really cool!

It is a divice a little smaller than a piece of paper and about 1/4 inch thick that you can download books on.

Re: Kindle
Thanks, Joe!
I think I will take a look at Amazon. I am a hugh book reader (sometimes one paperback in two days), mostly fiction. I used to spend a lot of $$ at Walmart to feed my habit, but now shop at used book stores. Right now our Library is having a sale -- bring in any size bag and fill it for only $5. I have taken advantage of this and now have a really big box of paperbacks that will last me 1-2 months. It would be nice to have such a device for riding in the car instead of having to look down at my book to read -- that way I can enjoy the scenery.

They are a bit pricey right now $300-$500, but they can hold 1,500 books. So you may have to make a choice here............Do I want a Kindle or a Vita Mix......Kindle or Vita Mix................

Re: Kindle
I have enjoyed mine immensely. You can download books anywhere in less than a minute. Mine usually takes only a few seconds. Many newer books are around $9.99, but the books I buy are usually 7.99 or less. Same as buying paperbacks. I highly recommend it. We bought my mother-in-law one for her 60th b-day, and she downloaded the Bible on it and uses it for Bible study, and absolutely loves it.

Re: Kindle
I'm a voracious reader & really really REALLY wanted a Kindle2 when Amazon started advertising them, but my kids have about convinced me to upgrade my Ipod & use it instead. DD#1, Kayce, downloads all her fave books for the same price as Kindle plus all her movies & music, which Kindle cannot do. She said she gets the hot best sellers before they appear in the bookstores, which is a bonus for her, an impatient "kid". I thought the smaller size might make my eyes tired, but she says you can adjust the text size and scrolling speed to suit your individual reading habits. So there you are.
