happy birthday, me!

[llywela]

My birthday present just arrived, two days early - a shiny new Kindle plus pretty purple case! I just wasted far more work time than I'd like my boss to know about, getting it set-up and downloading a bit of content - hooray for free e-books!

I love books, real books, and wouldn't part with my library for all the tea in China. But the Kindle is so light and practical - you can just slide it in a handbag for reading on the bus or whatever, so much easier than carting a hefty tome around. I love it. Thank you very much to my lovely family for the money they have yet to give me toward it!
