Two Kindle Family

My wife casually mentioned that she had been thinking of buying an e-reader. Two minutes after she uttered this slight interest, I had purchased her a new Kindle.

Now, I wanted to get her an iPad. I've played with my father's new iPad and think it's great. My wife didn't want another computer. Plus she's frugal as hell and 500 bucks is a bit rich for her.

My mother in law just got a Nook. Color, easy to use, nice to look at. But again, the frugality kicked in. Why spend an extra one hundred bucks more when a Kindle is only 139? That's why I love her.

So now we're a two Kindle family. She wants just a reader with no distractions, she's got it. Makes sense too, we use one account at Amazon and now we can lend one another e-books. More to come in the weeks to come.
