All of a sudden I catch her fiddling with the package saying: "You didn't wrap it quite right!" I didn't realize correctly wrapping it involved taking the Kindle out of the box! Her first words were: "There are so many buttons!" But I told her all she really needed to focus on was the one that turned the page.
Since then, it's been several hours since anyone's seen her. How long do I have to wait to file a missing person's report?
So if you got a Kindle, what did you think??? If you gave a Kindle, how did they take it???--Jason

I gave my brother a K3 for his birthday, close to Christmas, & he thinks it's great. My wife's sister got a K3 from her son for Christmas, and is thrilled. My brother is not a big reader, my sister-in-law is. In fact, my wife questioned the survival of bookstores based on her sister's reaction. And my wife is one of those people who really can't imagine preferring an EBR over a pbook.
