Got these from Rachel… Hilarious.  Click to make it bigger if you can’t read it…

The Kindle has arrived. I have officially read one book on it and love every second of it… the size is perfect… the buttons are perfect, the screen is perfect… and best yet is the content available… I have gotten 11 kindle books… 3 or 4 of which I read on my iPhone…  here is a spreadsheet showing the savings so far from all the books I got, comparing to Barned and Noble versions I would have bought if I bought the book…

So far I have saved $68 on books!

After a brief drought in reading I am finally starting up again… I used my Christmas gift card to get the book Matters of Faith from Barnes and Noble… And we bought our first “kindle” book that I finished reading on my iPhone… Your Heart Belongs to Me

Here is a quote that stuck with me from Your Heart Belongs to Me, it just seems so true about the way women (me included) often expect to be understood….

He frowned. “Was I that dense?”

With the gentlest regret, she said, “It’s not a thing you discuss like halitosis or table manners, Ryan. It’s not a thing you can aquire overnight just because you know I need it. And the worst would be to fake it because you think it’s wanted.”

“So how was I supposed to know what it was, what you needed – by subtext?”

“Yes. By subtext. The implicit meaning of how I lived my life, what I felt, what mattered to me.”

“Sam, I’m lost.”

Revealing a pain at which her melancholy had only hinted, she said, “Sweetie, I know. I know you are, I know, and it breaks my heart.”

While I still don’t have a Kindle, I did get the iPhone Kindle App… I am a good hunk of the way through reading a book on it… While the small backlit screen isn’t ideal, it hasn’t been a bad experience and at least this way I can buy books that will be useful after I get a Kindle someday…

Well February has come and gone… quickly… It feels like March will last forever compared to February… I have 59/365 photos taken, haven’t missed a day yet (knock on wood)….
