Finally, after haunting the Amazon boards for months, after several failed attempts to purchase a kindle a little cheaper on eBay, the Oprah Code was too much! I have finally ordered my Kindle.
About me: teacher ... have cats ... ummm, teacher ... oh, love to read! Sadly my love affair with books had waned over the past few years (too much time reading student's writing, which is atrocious), so the kindle will add new spice to my life as it were. Oh, and traveling ... like to travel, don't do it enough.
I live in Milwaukee, WI, but since I ordered my Kindle last night at about 11:00pm (CDT) my kindle probably still lives in a warehouse somewhere. I understand it is moving soon. I understand it will go from a big, spacious warehouse to a small stuffy truck. Then from a small stuffy truck into my home.
When I logged in to "Manage My Kindle" Amazon had names my Kindle "James's Kindle". how uninspiring. During one of the naming posts on the Amazon Forum, I had decided to name my Kindle Hythloday, from Thomas More's Utopia, one of the many classics I plan to download and read again.
Other than that, not much to say. I am just waiting .......... waiting ....... waiting ....
