Kindle update

Some have wondered whether my love affair with my Kindle would last. Yes, it has. My battery ran out this week so I had to recharge. It's amazing. The battery lasted over three weeks, and I use it all the time! I did have to put the breaks on buying books, though. It's WAY too easy to purchase. I just click one time, and the book is mine. I have found that not every book is suitable for the Kindle. For example, I'm reading a real estate investing book and it has some diagrams that cannot be enlarged the way that the normal book text can. I'm still experimenting with the note taking feature, so no update on that. I thought I would miss holding a physical book in my hand, but that's not the case. I read Treasure Island (one of the books for under $2), and the dictionary feature was very handy. I didn't know what many of the nautical terms were, but now I do. I have been reading regular books, though. I don't think I'll ever give that up. Novels are the best thing to read on the Kindle, and I've read quite a few in the past few weeks. Overall, great piece of gear so far.
