Haven't read a book in decades. . .

but, I've listened to more than 900 books over the past 5 years. It helps when you're a security officer working graveyard shift. Started with a Sony CD player, then an iPod. Now using my Blackberry Curve w/Altec Lansing wireless stereo head phones. I swore I'd never get an eReader, and I doubt I ever will. But, after 42 years of "Marital Bliss", I've learned life is better when Wifey is happy. Wifey is also a security officer. She sits a lobby station with a couple multi camera CCTV monitors. Does this 12 hour shifts, 6 of 7 days/nights a week. In my continuing attempt to keep Wifey happy I purchased her a Kindle 3G WiFi. Hope to keep her from being completely bored to death. So, now you know us, a couple professional book reader/listeners. JMHO

Cheers,
otrpu

Cute. Your wife better hang onto her kindle, when you see how much fun she is having, you are going to want one as well.
Welcome, get comfy and enjoy your stay.
