As Christmas prepares to gift us with presents, family and the celebration of Jesus’ birth I am also celebrating my soon to arrive Kindle…now I am excited about all of these events packaged into the big day. Yes, I understand that many like to promote the concept that Christmas is a sad time for many people…and I understand this as I volunteer with the homeless and poor…however for many that focus on the central part of Christmas…the faith part, it is a significant and wonderful experience…
Then again there is my Kindle…they are now available in over 100 countries! Now before you think that this is a self serving ad for Kindle you are dead wrong! (Fact is none of our reviews are self serving) First as a Canadian associate with Amazon.ca I get no revenue whatsoever from any sales for the Kindle. You see although you can order the Kindle here along with the 99 other countries it is not sold through Amazon.ca but only through Amazon.com. As a Canadian associate I do not even have access to images etc for the Kindle. Plus if you purchase a Kindle you can order your books and download them directly to your Kindle…no computer needed! Of course our reviews ARE a great way to be informed about various books etc in an infotaining way (work with me here ok?)
So I eagerly await my new Kindle along with the Neoprene Kindle case (it looks sleek, cool and also practical) and the experience of reading a book digitally in my handy dandy portable device along with the other plethora of options it provides…all to start on December 9th if it arrives as scheduled (and I have found that Amazon is always on schedule).
Thus we begin an additional feature here at The Purple Bookmark…My Purple Kindle…I will record the travels and travails of My Purple Kindle…a Kindle review…I ask…are you ready for the new millennium…the portable digital library…and no it is not like reading from your laptop or mobile phone…is it?
Better yet, what book do you suggest I first download to my new Kindle when it arrives in a few days? What would help in Kindling my Reading?
By the way I shall provide my own photos of my new Kindle and tell you exactly what I think of it…so stay tuned….
My suggestion is here. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy dear Sir Looney…
ReplyDeleteI have a brother that is a brilliant electrical engineer…perhaps you are confusing the two of us? ;)
(Good thing he has the brains as I have the beauty ;)
It is pretty impressive that the Kindle store would have this classic work…good price and downloadable in a less than a minute…hmmm
Alas as there is no review of the book I am uncertain as to if it is my kind of book…care to share a few words as to why you would suggest such a work…even with a wink and nudge nudge….
I wonder if it comes with maps and pictures….
Here is another of the books I am considering:
