santa brought me a kindle

I must have been good because Santa (aka husband) left a Kindle Touch under our Christmas Tree.  I was so back and forth on wanting one of these machines and after some research, I decided I could really benefit from owning an eReader.  It took a long time because I am not the biggest fan of making decisions.  I am happy with many things.

wooden frame just wonderful?

I have downloaded two books already - The Life of Pi and The Da Vinci Code.  One was on sale the day I got it for $0.99 and the other one I just wanted and cost $10.  I am not going to get into the habit of buying books, as you can rent books from the library for free through a Kindle, but because I had holiday travel plans and did not have time to make it to the brary I made an exception.

One of the most exciting things about getting one was choosing a case.  Although there was a fun green and blue striped Kate Spade case that kind of matches my phone, it was made out of fabric and I wanted something tougher.

Through many hours of research I came across a website called Pad & Quill.  They also make cases for Ipads and Iphones.  They closely resemble the brand of cases called DODOcase, but DODO doesn't make a Kindle Touch case, just a Kindle Fire case.  I am happy with my purchase and confident my Kindle will be protected.

I think I want to name my Kindle something human - maybe Gloria?!?!?  Peter?!?!?  Bill Cosby??!?!  or should I just name it Mr. Potato Head?!?!?  I went with the hickory interior, which makes me think of potatoes.
