I've spent less than $13 on two children's picture books for my 3 year old. I've downloaded lots of freebies (thanks MobileRead!) and I'm still borrowing books from our public library.

My original plan was to exchange the contents of our loose coins jar for an Amazon gift card (we usually get Starbucks cards) and only buy Kindle books with the gift card. But alas, Amazon won't let you buy Kindle books with a gift card. I may still follow through on the concept though.

I think my first real Kindle purchase will be City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. I am so hooked into the Mortal Instruments trilogy that I don't want to wait for my library to purchase it.
