Evening

This post was last modified: 02 Aug 2011 07:17 PM by InsertFunnyNameHere.

Been reading as a guest for a little while.

Bought my wife an E-Book for Christmas 2009 and was impressed with how clear it was(wasnt a Kindle Undecided

).
As i had bought a bright pink one, there was no way i could steal it to read at work Wink

Then towards Christmas 2010 i kept seeing the ads for the new Kindle, and i've been hooked ever since i got it.

Currently reading the latest in the Dresden Files series (Ghost Stories).

Alan.

Hi Alan

Welcome from a fellow newbie! Kindles are the new dishwashers - once you've got one, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one!

She loved it, as she hadnt even thought of getting one for herself (i tend to be the one that buys the gadgets in the house Whistle

)

It was a Cool-er, e-reader that i saw in Argos.I'm guessing it was aimed at the iPod generation as it's styled to look a little like one (not sure of the rules about posting pics yet so i wont include a reference).

Although it was a lot more expensive than the Kindle (£199). It has no where near the features. My wife was a little jealous when on our recent visit to family in Indiana that i was able to browse the Amazon site to see what i fancied reading next, as hers has to be loaded from the computer.

I've not heard of a Cool-er. I looked for it on Google, and it seems to have gone...I bet you end up having to buy your wife a Kindle, maybe one of the next generation, then you'll be a little jealous... Kindle Sad

They have vanished from Argos, and their site hasnt been updated for a while, so i'm guessing they didnt survive.

This is what they looked like....it isnt a bad reader, and its what initially got me interested in getting one.

RE: Evening

and welcome to the forum. I bet your wife is so jealous of your lovely Kindle now! As Mandy says, once you have one, you will wonder how you managed without for so long. Smile

Only happy when I am immersed in a good Kindle book Thumbs Up
