The Sookie Stackhouse novels is why I bought a kindle! I fell in love with True Blood, but didn't like waiting to find out what was going to happen (I like books, where I control the flow of content). Anyway, I went to check out the first book at the library - there was a huge waiting list. Four months after the series ended for the year, I still hadn't made it to the top of the waiting list. I bought my kindle 1, and read the first 6 books during Christmas vacation. I downloaded the 7th while waiting for a flight, where I was separated from my family in a middle seat. The kindle saved my life.
I didn't like the Amazon price on the 8th book, and bought it someplace else and learned here how to put it on my kindle. And I checked the most recent book out of the library and put it on my kindle.
I love the kindle 1, and have no desire for a kindle 2. I suppose the kindle 2 is better for reading without a cover, but I am so used to my nice Oberon cover, I have no desire to read without it!
The only problem with the kindle is that it has overtaken my life. I have quit knitting, quit sewing, quit every activity I did during baseball games and commuting, and just read, read, read. I know a lot of people hate Jeff Bezos, but I think he deserves a medal.
