Hi there. This Kindle user is waving to you from Texas.

I waited 5 weeks for my Kindle, but have been really enjoying it since I opened the package on 21 February. Yesterday, I ordered a second Kindle for my sister. We're going to share the expense of books which is why we're keeping them on a single account. Her Kindle has shipped and should arrive tomorrow.

Although Amazon has some very tempting current releases in their catalog, don't get suckered into paying $3.49 or even $.99 for any of the classics. You can get most of those here or at FeedBooks or at ManyBooks. And, if you're reasonably technical, you can get the text from Project Gutenberg and create MobiPocket format books for yourself and to share.

Regards,
Elsi
