Waiting for Christmas
Hi everyone

My husband let it slip the other day that he's ordered me a Kindle 3 for Christmas. It's apparently already waiting for me at my parents' house where we'll be heading on Christmas Eve.

I've been pottering around here for a few days having a look, but I thought it was time to actually dive in and introduce myself. I'm trying to restrain myself from putting too many books on my Amazon wishlist at the moment! (and trying to stop getting frustrated that, living in Belgium, I won't have access to either the free ebook from the US or the UK sites. I'm 100% happy to pay for ebooks, but sometimes it's nice to get something free - a bit like when a friend passes you on a pile of pbacks they've finished with...)

-- Vi

Good to have your company, Vi. You'll have no trouble downloading free books from other sources and converting them to the Mobi format for Kindle with free Calibre library software. You can start to set up that library now so that you'll have a whole heap of reading on your virtual shelves by the time you get your secret device. Happy Christmas Kindling and best wishes. Neil

Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone!

Good to hear I'll have a few free options as well as paid ebooks.

Iridal - I'm afraid I'm a not a native Belgian, but I'm rather pleased, my language abilities must be improving a bit, as I understood everything you said
