So I got a Kindle

So, about a week ago I had a birthday. My lady, being the awesome gift giver that she is, gave me a Kindle.  Not only that, but she did me a huge favor, since I am so technologically challenged, by buying me the simplest Kindle they make.  That's not all though, she also gave me a protective case, so that when I drop it, or step on it, or start chewing on it, it won't break.

To top it all off, she also made me cake.  I really love cake.

I haven't gotten around to reading anything on the new Kindle yet, other than the tutorial, but I'm looking forward to the experience.  As much as I love holding the physical copy of a book in my hands, my tiny living space is starting to get overrun with all my books, so this little item will help keep me from drowning in my book collection.

In the past, being the book snob that I am, I would have scoffed at the notion of such a gift, but time, age and I'd like to think, increased wisdom, has shown me that I really can't hang onto every book I read...but now, maybe I can at least hold onto digital copies.

Any other e-reader owners out there?  How do you feel about them?
