I got my Kindle Fire from my kids and husband for my birthday a month or so ago. I just love it. Protested at Christmas time that I didn't want one but that was before I learned all I could do with it. I don't read a lot of books on it but I do read quiltingboard every day on it. I check my e-mail from anywhere in the house and even at the clinic while my husband was at a Dr visit. The clinic had free wifi and I bought a wireless router for at home. Sure is nice to read e-mail, read quiltingboard, play sudoku (free) or solitare (free), send messages, check my great granddaughter's caring bridge site, and on and on and on. I am pleasantly surprised at all I use it for. Thanks hubby and kids!
