Yesterday I made my 10th purchase of a Kindle device as a mother's day gift (8 of the others were for other people). Amazon should be paying me! :-)

So far:
================
4 Kindle 3
2 Kindle 3 SO
3 Kindle DXG
1 Kindle 4 (non touch)

I waited quite some time to buy one for my mother because most of her reading is $.25 paperbacks from a thrift store, which she reads and then quickly re-donates. With the low price of the new Kindle (the current gift card offers going on really helped too!) and the large number of free books available on Amazon I finally decided that there's probably enough stuff out there to keep her going for a long time and made the purchase.

Little did I know how much that first Kindle 3 that I bought for myself (and am still using) 1.5 years ago would cost! :-)
