They no Longer carry Kindles with Spec Offers! Now all you do is go to your account the click to get them or not! Stores dropped the prices to get rid of them back in Nov.

Conversation today:

Mom: I hardly ever use that other book reader (Sony PRS-650)
Me: Yeah...I know, you never got used to the touch screen
Mom: That and the screen is smaller
Me: No it isn't, it's the same size
(now thinking...oopps should have gone with the keyboard)
Mom: Doesn't seem like it..plus I like the page format on the Kindle better
Me: Well, your Kindle seems like its on it's last legs
Mom: Why do you think that?
Me: You've had a few problems this year
Mom: Not since the last time you sent it back to me...in fact, now the battery lasts longer than it does with my other reader

So now I am thinking I should just return the K4 as it might just be another reader that sits on the shelves as she seems to love her K1 still...of course, that means I have some last minute Christmas shopping to do in the morning

Boston, let your mom decide. You did a very nice thing by getting her the newer version. I think she'll like it but I'd say to let her decide. She can have her carry around reader and her at home reader.

Let her decide. I think she's going to really like the K4.
