Hello from Alameda, Ca
I have owned a Kindle2 since December and love it. I am retired now, but I wished I had this when I was working and traveling alot. I have always been a new technology guy. When I travel now, I take my netbook (and Kindle) with me. My home computer is a laptop. I have 4 children, living in Washington State, Houston, and Connecticut. Alameda is a small island located in the San Francisco Bay. I live 4 blocks from the bay, and walk my dog there pretty much every day rain or shine. I am currently learning Russian and Japanese at the same time. I have my lessons for both on my Kindle. I love reading, especially the classics. I have just finished Cannery Row and now started the Charlie Chan mystery stories.

The warmest welcome to you, junior member Granvillen.

This is a very nice place to connect to. I am sure that we will spend very pleasant moments, all together.

Let me point you a really nice place to start from. This has been prepared by a very fine lady exactly for new "kids" like you or like me, just not long time ago.

Click this, technology man. here
