A day or so later, she comments in passing, "Dude, the Kindle is the best thing ever!" Now, she carries it with her everywhere she goes. To my shock, she disconnected it from my Amazon account and set up her own account. I believe she's bought the whole Twilight series.
The Kindle 1 is her first ebook reader. She has no problems with the user interface as she has no basis for comparison though she did say that it took her a few hours to get used to it. I expected to have to spend an hour or so explaining it to her, but that never happened. She's never read a manual in her life and she does very well with computers and video games.
I too believe that, "Dude, the Kindle is one of the best things ever," though I vastly prefer the K 2 to the K 1. However, I'm not telling my daughter that.

Awesome for you to do this for your daughter! I have a quick and maybe silly qwuestion. I also want to order all of the Sookie Stackhouse books (as a fan of True Blood), but I'm not sdure if I should be looking at the Sookie Stackhouse novels or the Southern Vampire Mysteries or if they are one and the same.
Any info would be most welcome!
BTW, who cares if your daughter calls you "Dude"? At least she speaks to you, right?
Cheers!!
