I realized another good use with the Kindle vs. books - - while waiting for my husband, I finished reading one book - and was able to click right on and start another book without having the burden of carrying the second book in my bag "in case" I finish the first one. I have borrowed 3 books from the library and it went great - only problem was when I went to sign up for "The Help" found I was number 560 on a waiting list. Think I'll just spend the $9.99 and buy it. :-) Love my Kindle, so glad I bought it!
