hmmm
How to ask this politely.... Did she get to test it without your commenting? If she likes to read magazines then a color reader is going to work better for her. Magazines on the Kindle work ok but not great. If she is going to be using it for mainly books then I get the Kindle but magazines do not scream Kindle to me. |

Ohhh! no, no ... for Magazines, she uses the iPad 2 and/or paper ones. Agree, the Kindle is not suitable for Magazines. She is looking for an eink reader in order to read regular novels or books. |

OK. That makes sense. You mentioned magazines and not books. Hence my confusion

![]() one year when asked I asked for a crock-pot for my birthday. I was suprised that my husband actually gave me one. He was cruelly criticized by all and sundry, but I love the fact that he actually listened to my wants and took the time to find one that was perfect for what I wanted. My K3 was a gift from my husband for Christmas. He totally understands that I am a complete bookworm. I think that it also saved his sanity as the books were piling up everywhere. So my answer would be yes. ![]() |

To be honest, get her a nook Touch, root it and then put the Kindle app on it. That was she'll have a reader that will display Kindle eBooks and is better then the Kindle.

Going by this list:
http://www.chiff.com/entertain/gifts-anniversary.htm I'd say the Kindle (an "appliance?") is most fitting for a 4th or 8th anniversary. Or 47th. |

If my wife asked for one, or said she'd like one, I can't imagine that it would be a bad gift.
I mean, I got my wife a new broom and bottle of pinesol for our 3/4 anniversary (got married on Leap Day, so one actual anniversary every 4 years) and I got relegated to the couch for a couple weeks. How was I supposed to know that when she said "We need Pinesol, and this broom sucks," she wasn't asking for them as gifts? |

Only if she is really into smoothies and you get her a Vitamix! Appliances can work, but they have to be high end. For Valentines Day, a regular grill, like the one that was replaced, wouldn't be a good gift, it would fall under household necessities. A high end grill, is a household item, but the gift of such an item, to someone who loves to grill as much as I do, is the added luxury of the upgrade. So, if you bought her a Vitamix, which starts at 3 times the cost of a 3G Kindle, I can't imagine she would be disappointed. |
