We have countless boxes of books in our basement, and we really see e-books as the way to cut on the clutter. If we don't do it soon, I imagine there might be a special of Hoarders featuring us and our piles of books.fsowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11341367525966158681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27314728.post-91184729545684168312010-04-07T04:21:19.471+00:002010-04-07T04:21:19.471+00:00You are totally right about the charger!

On the charger mine says Input: 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz and I've used it with just a plug adapter without any problem. Either way, I can't imagine travelling and moving without it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27314728.post-49098718061063444322010-04-06T12:23:18.934+00:002010-04-06T12:23:18.934+00:00Yay! Clicking over to Goodreads rewarded me with ...Yay! Clicking over to Goodreads rewarded me with a closeup picture of your kitty cat!! THAT is a BEAUTIFUL kitty cat!<br /><br />Fabulous post, Stephanie - just wonderful post - about the Kindle. Loved that you took the time to list out the pros and cons and even how you've used it overseas. <br /><br />This is a huge, huge issue for me as I am an incredible book lover. I've never been without the library before. Even when James was in DC just for a few weeks and we followed him there for training, the day we got there (literally), all of us had library cards. <br /><br />But the sheer weight of taking books with us scares the living daylights out of me. Since I love love love the classics, maybe a Kindle is in my future someday. The problems is: I never, ever pay money for books. I interlibrary loan them. And I am very, very cheap, so it will be a learning curve for me to pay for Kindle books. Dilemma: go without, ship my own (heavy!) or get a Kindle and pay for downloads. <br /><br />But that's assuming we ever get overseas! LOL! For if we cannot, and we instead spend the next 30 years of my husband's career in DC, it's totally not a problem! LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
