And no one could read all the free books because there are new free books coming out almost daily in addition to the free books available through project Gutenberg which includes all the books written before somthing like 1945. Go to amazon and go to kindle books, arrange in order of price, the list will go on for days. Not all the free books are good, but I have found some suprising winners in there.

I got one for Xmas and I love, love it. It is every bit as good as they say. It is so easy to read. I just ordered a few of the accessories (light, case, earphones, car charger etc. I like being able to look up words and to download a book anytime. Kindle was the original and they have really improved on it. I am going on a month long vacation, so I won't have to load my suitcase with heavy books.
