Yeah, the Kindle's fun. And before unknown to me, it's got a web browser, tiny though the pages appear in it. But still. You can increase the size, but with my 50+ year old eyes, sometimes that's a challenge.
The coolest thing was using my laptop to find books (there are TONS on Amazon that are free, plus many other websites), click on them and have them wirelessly transferred to the Kindle. I forgot at one point to turn on the wireless and was afraid that the books I'd ordered (all of them free) had been lost in space. Turned on the little beggar and they immediately began uploading. So cool.
I will say that at one site I saved the files to my laptop as Kindle-friendly and then moved them into the appropriate folder---then they showed up on the reader. So easy either way.

I'm liking it. A perk to what was a dull day (and no, it didn't rain---only go the barest sprinkle at our house). Had told my husband, last week, that I needed something to look forward to. Wasn't aware that he'd already ordered the Kindle. He likes me to have gadgets. Lucky me, eh?!! :) And funny thing was, last night he didn't even ask to play with it. 'Course he's got a jail-broken iPhone and can read e-texts that way. I would've figured that he'd want to mess with it, but controlled his urge, I guess.
Thankful for good work, lately, that allowed him to treat me. He is my greatest fan. :)
