When KINDLE first came out with its first e-Book reader, someone gave me one.
I read a lot and have tons of books on all sorts of subjects, so it was an ideal gift which allowed me to get a lot of reading material off my library shelves and I can download any book I want to read immediately.
No more driving to the library nor the local book stores.
When you have a KINDLE, Amazon encourages you to join a 'club' called PRIME for about $80 a year. Once you are a PRIME member everything you order from AMAZON.com includes absolutely FREE SHIPPING.
That free shipping is ideal for me because I make a lot of AMAZON purchases.
Now KINDLE is selling a new unit called HDX 8.9 ... and that is what I'm asking Santa for this year
If you read a lot or enjoy being entertained with music and movies on these hand held devices, check it out on the AMAZON site.
