, of course. I own one and I am thrilled to have it. In My Hand. I still cannot believe I have all these books. In My Hand. I'm not a big spender so when I do purchase it's because I really, I mean I really like the Author or the book itself speaks to me (Don't ask). Let's just say I don't have a lot of money to spend but like the saying goes, if I have 10.00 in my pocket and it's between a book and dinner....I just started a diet. So that being said when Amazon offers free books, I swear I think I have died and gone to Heaven. It's Christmas anytime of the year or I just keep getting presents. I have always been a reader, always read everyday. Especially, just before I go to sleep, always reading and believe it or not I am able to read even more. I try to take it with me and when ever I have a minute I open it up and read. It's great and I love it. NOT to say I do not have a conversation with people. If someone is around they have my attention. I'm talking about when I am alone or not with anyone to speak of (you know what I'm talking about). It's not like I'm shopping and out pops the kindle (like all those people with cell phones hanging on their ears, are they that important they can't even go shopping without someone getting in touch with them. More about this later). I respect my time and honor my self so that when I am reading I'm enjoying it very much and not offending anyone. I'm still astounded how much I love and enjoy it. Believe me I could go on and on and on and on about the Kindle but I will stop for now and talk a little about the ipad.I have to be honest I don't know a lot about the ipad. At first glance it seems to be very impressive. The looks, how it's set up and just in general. My Son, has one on order so will be more informed after he tells me what all it offers and how it's working for him. But for right now this is what I know. It's bigger than the Kindle. In color, Has Safari, A keyboard, You may take notes. The app store. Now I know there is more but right now I just don't know what it is so I'm just going to comment on this much.......Well bigger isn't always better but I will keep an open mind. Color might be nice in some books and blogs. Has Safari, well Kindle does have access to the internet and it isn't fast but you can check your email, I can send emails from it and I am able to send text messages thanks to GoggleVoice. (thank you goggle, I love it). I have to admit it's not that much fun getting on the net but the fun part is and I will shout, IT'S FREE. Now I do have a keyboard on the kindle but it is very small and I really don't hold my hands as I do like I am typing now. It's the one finger use and really for what I use it for it's ok. You can take notes on the kindle, I must admit I have not yet. Nor have I highlighted. The app store, no, Kindle does not have that. Perhaps that would be useful I know my husband has an iphone and has lots of apps which he enjoys using. My understanding is for the most part the books will be 14.99 on average. I don't think I have heard about any free books. So they lost me there. Here is what I am thinking right now. If you are a reader and that is what you use the Kindle for then I'm in favor of the Kindle. But if you read sometime but go on the internet a lot, check your email a lot, look up facts, info, or entertainment a lot, You type up notes etc. Then by all means the ipad is for you. As for myself I just don't know for sure. The jury is still out. Tootles
