The Kindle Has Landed

It was waiting for me when I got home from last week's trip to Wisconsin. Yes, the Kindle has finally landed in my hands. With little effort, I am resisting the temptation to refer to this nifty little gadget as a "he" or "she". That's just weird. I will not be giving it a people name like "Reed" or "Cindy". That, too, is weird. But I must say Kindle is cool. I haven't spent much time exploring all of it's features, but my first impression tells me this thing will be in my hands plenty. It is certainly as sleek as I expected. And I am reasonably sure it is as practical as I had hoped. One of the features that I already like is the ability to download a sample of books that interest me. These samples are more than a couple of paragraphs, too. It's like walking the aisles of Books-a-Million and thumbing through actual books! Just this morning I clicked one button on Amazon.com and downloaded a sample of The Works of Jonathan Edwards. Before I could say, "I love my Kindle", it was wirelessly downloaded! That's pretty cool!
