Yay! (You will love it.) Not to mention the clutter-control is beyond great! ;) You know, I always take a lot of books too, and even had one to take with me this time while we're on the road. I decided to read it while I was still at home, and only take my Kindle. (I need those audio books however!) It's hard to downsize sometimes, but I'm down to a briefcase size rollerbag and a tote bag for three weeks. (I keep trying to pare things down, but you need a certain amount.) The Kindle should help things immensely! After you get some reading in, let us know how you like the page, visually. Initially, I wasn't sure I'd really like it myself, but find it's fine. I thought having the page backlit might help, but not having that as a feature really saves on the battery. Remember to turn your Wireless OFF when you're not using it. It saves tremendously on the battery and you'll be able to read for a very long time!

I ordered them also alisande. Now I will have a set for the RV too. I keep one of these on my bedside table so anytime I need to get up during the night or if the power goes off I have a light at hand and the hanger on the back is really helpful, I hook it on my shirt collar and can see where I am going plus have both hands free. We had bought several at Big Lots when they had them but they don't carry them any more so I was happy to see these.

socks, you can keep a library (Overdrive) sourced Kindle book and keep reading it on a Kindle reader for months and months IF (and only if) you turn off your data signal (whether Wifi or through a cell carrier). It's through that sign on that the Amazon site is contacted and the deadlines for library downloads are enforced and overdue ones get deleted. How you make that work is by downloading several books at a time, read them all with the data signal off, then connect and download several more. Repeat as desired. chisue, while there are Overdrive apps for different tablets and PCs, you can only check out library books from libraries where you have an account. But different libraries have different/nonidentical Overdrive subscriptions so you're likely to find books on the Hawaii Library Overdrive site that may not be available from your home library and vice versa. You can download Overdrive material from anywhere. Several of my kids have spent time living abroad and they were able to continue to download Overdrive-sourced Kindle and audio books using their US library accounts.

He says his mystery thrillers are set in suburbia because that's where he lives. Lol, what's going on around his neighborhood? I guess I have to buy a book for my kindle and find out. The biggest mystery around here is guessing where I put my glasses.
