I am the happy owner of a Kindle.
A Kindle is Amazon's wireless reading device or e-book. It can store thousands of books, magazines, blogs and newspapers. Even nicer, the Kindle has free, built-in wireless called "Whispernet" for accessing Amazon’s library 24/7 so that you can purchase a book, newspaper or magazine when and where you want it.
On Christmas evening I downloaded, within 20 seconds, Donald Miller's newest book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life, and finished it two days later.
A fellow reading enthusiast called me a 'traitor' for relinquishing the written page for an electronic gadget.
Sorry ~ I'm hooked.
So far it's been easy to jump into the 'lingo' of using an e-reader and understanding how it works. It is effortless to hold and maneuver while reading. For me it's less cumbersome to hold than a book and takes little or no effort in turning a page. It's screen doesn't actually seem 'electronic' but more like a page than I expected.
Today, I browsed through thousands of free e-books for Kindle users ~ I downloaded several to read later this week.

In the case of the recipe book, do you still get pictures?
