The reason that I have quit posting and writing altogether is because I have started some serious reading. You see, I bought myself a Kindle 3G
and for the past year, she and I have been inseparable. I love her, her name is Violet and she is the Graphite model. I currently have nearly 850 books on her and I get more free books almost every day. I have read or have had Violet read me around 80 books since last October. I get my free books by subscribing to Free Kindle Books Plus a Few Other Tips
right on my Kindle. I let Michael Gallagher sort through the free books and suggest only the best. You can also access his blog for free on your PC here: http://fkbt.wordpress.com. You can spend money and buy eBooks
too, if that is what you want to do.Violet's face is so lovely and easy to read without a back-lit screen. I can read her anywhere without any glare or eyestrain (back-lit screens make my eyes tired). You do have to have a light in order to read in the dark or low light situations. I have a Kandle
for my Kindle. But many other Clip-On Lights
are available.There are games and apps available for the Kindle. I have a Calendar and Sticky Notes on Violet. My favorite game is Monopoly
, but there are lots of free games and apps.The thing that I really love about Violet is that she fits in the pocket of a vest that I have and she reads to me through headphones while I am working around the house. She can read nearly all books. I can even put Audio Books
and Music on her if I want to. She can read in a woman's or man's voice at slow, medium or fast speeds. I prefer the woman's voice at medium speed.There are many ways to dress up your Kindle. Skins
and Covers of every design, material and color. I no longer have a skin on Violet, but she is decked out in a JAVOedge Heritage Flip Case
. This case protects, looks pretty and also stands Violet up like a picture frame, so I can read while having breakfast or lunch.Violet will also check my email, Twitter, Facebook, weather, etc...for free using 3G. What more could you ask for?
