Tactical Error

I have told you how much I love my Kindle? Well, my Kindle not my wife's. I was on a trip this week, just when the long awaited 5th book in the George R.R. Martin, Song of Ice and Fire series came out. I was discussing this releases with a coworker of mine on Monday night. I had my copy pre-ordered. 12 AM comes and my Kindle account automatically gets the book. He has to wait in line at the bookstore. I love that about the Kindle.

What I don't like? I had the wrong Kindle. I was at the airport today, having just finished Twelve Sharp by Evanovich, when I decided to download and read my new book. Guess what? Lana's Kindle doesn't have 3G, just WiFi. As much as the airports like to tout it, their internet isn't really free. Guess who couldn't access the new book? This was the tactical error.

I could have read it on my cell phone but that would have been a bit draining on the battery. Still, love it and hate it alternately. Mostly love.

Now, I'm at home. I downloaded the book on both Kindles just to be on the safe side.
