Thank you all for the welcome messages. I do appreciate them.

You are right, my account has been charged and I cannot cancel the order. Sure wish Amazon would have checked with me before sending out the Kindle, as the information on their site was so far off.
Amazon has not been great lately about notifying me regarding other items I had ordered on a subscription basis. Normally, Amazon is supposed to let you know the subscription product is about to be shipped and ask if you still want it. My last item was something I didn't need yet, but they didn't ask and also sent it two months early with no notice. Oh, well.
You mentioned my dog rescue. Sugar has long gone to the Rainbow Bridge along with many other Shih Tzu, Japanese Chins, Chihuahuas, Pekingese, Yorkie-Poos and Schnoodles, throughout all the years I ran my dog rescue. I normally adopted out the healthy dogs, but the sick ones stayed because no one wanted them. I shut my doors to new dogs about two years ago when my health went south, but we still have a pile of little old sick dogs that will stay until the end of their days. That is pretty much an update on my rescue.
I will think a little more about the Kindle that is coming from Amazon. Odds are that I will probably keep it, as I do like the design or possibly return it and order a refurbished unit. The newest one (Version 2) coming out is pretty ugly from the pictures I have seen, so far. Am not sure how much I should believe from the different articles that are being published about the new Kindle product being developed.
You mentioned the itouch and the ereader application. I think the screen it a bit too small for my tastes and the battery is only lasting a couple of hours on a charge. I do love it for doing all my other Internet chores. It is great for checking on orders from Amazon, on-line banking, paying bills, making reservations for dinner and also playing all my music and listening to Internet Radio. Pandora.com is really great on the itouch or my computer.
