How many moms?

joycedb · 05-09-2010, 08:07 PM

Hello all,

Here in the U.S. it's Mother's Day and I'm wondering how many moms got an e-reader today. I read that on Christmas there were record downloads from Amazon for the Kindle. If you were one of the lucky moms, have you downloaded anything yet? For the record, I didn't get any.

I got an ebook reader for MY mom. She likes it. She is terrified of the computer and won't buy her own books yet (she says if she wants a book, she will get me to buy it and come 'install' it for her) and she keeps calling it the 'thingie' (as in, 'I read a book on the thingie today!') but she seems to be enjoying it. I got her the Kobo reader.

I am a Mom. I got my Kindle on Wed because I ordered it myself.

Amazon shipped much faster than I was expecting.

I downloaded "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" and am almost finished with it. I might download the rest of the series. I also subscribed to "PC Magazine".

Last year I gave my Mom my Kindle 1 for Mother's day.

If you had said a pink Kindle, I would have worried. I hear the pink Kindles have some pretty funky experimental functions!

My mother died in 2007, and I gave my wife a Nook for Christmas, but for Mother's Day we got her a B&N gift card.

Well, congratulations to all the moms who got one. Maybe next year, I'll be the lucky one. Happy reading to all.
