Thank you so much everyone. It really is amazing the help here. I really appreciate it.
Marcy, thanks for the suggestions, I am reading with an ipod touch right now when I nurse which I really like and is what got me to thinking I should be considering an e-reader. I was getting a little worried that it can't be great for my eyes to do that so much and I don't want to go back to work with my eyes worse when this is the year I get to have a break from being in front of a computer all day every day at work. I generally read when I nurse during the day so there will be light in the room for that. At night, I tend to lie down to nurse since we have our spare bed in the baby room since all the rooms are full now so I don't tend to read then (having three boys does that to a house, lol)
Thanks all for the info on contrast etc. Since I didn't want to share, we have a black one coming for my dh and an ivory one for me. He doesn't know that yet, so hopefully he will be okay with that surprise. Now, I can't spend any more money like that for the remainder of my year off, so I will have to just get things set up and read!
Marilyn, I really do appreciate everyone's help here. It is so nice to have that. I have done small adjustments to config files etc. on my computer when I was installing little things on photoshop elements on my computer a while ago, so hopefully that will help. I will start by following the directions I've seen here and might ask for help as I go if something doesn't work. I tend to be one the digs and researches to figure things out so I can remind myself that there are people here to help when I need it. Since I'm doing two, I figure once I have one set up, I should be able to do the second a lot faster.
My order said to expect arrival around August 3rd so I will now wait. I am going on a plane August 6th with 2 of my boys so maybe I can get it in time to take it with me. Of course, I will be flying with a 4 month old on my lap and an 8 year old beside me so I may not get much reading in although maybe at the airport. Perhaps my 8 year old might read a bit. I noticed our public library has all the magic tree house books on epub so I will load a couple of those on for the trip.
