Hello from Virginia, USA

Hello,

New member here. The college I work at has been letting us check out Kindles since last summer, and I finally broke done and bought a Kindle 2. I'm hoping to learn many new tricks and ideas on this forum.

Hi drd1135 and welcome to the Forum. Good to have another Virginian in the group.

Do you have your Kindle2 in hand yet and, if so, how do you like it?

Hello drd1135 and welcome to MobileRead

Wow, nice college perk

Did the Kindle check out system encourage many of you to buy your own?

Hi drd1135, welcome to the forum. I live in a DC suburb. Good to see the DC/MD/VA area well represented

We had a DC area Meet Up back in August and will probably have another once the weather improves

Thanks for the welcome.

I know of three people who bought a new Kindle after trying it. I like the Kindle 2 as a device, especially the joystick. OTOH, I wouldn't be too bothered if I had a Kindle 1. I have had trouble downloading from books from this site directly to the Kindle. Th Basic browser keeps failing for some reason. Anyway, it worked fine through my computer. I must admit the sight of all these free books males me a bit giddy.

My colleague also enjoys the classics, so I'll direct her here.
