So I Think I want Kindle Fire....I Think.

Lately I have been suffering from the horrible disease of shopping online for things I don't need but may potentially want to buy.

And the object of this affectation of late has been the Kindle.

Yep. Me.Who loves the feel and the smell of regular print books. Odd, this...but when I think about packing books for a vacation whether in the Upper Peninsula or at my parent's house...and when I am bored I can be a voracious reader...even when I am not bored...at times I can read a very fat book in three days. Less when I am not working...I kind of cringe when thinking about taking three books when I know the car is always full no matter how I think I skimp on stuff.  And the ride back from Mom and Dad's is always full of whatever vegetables/gifts/plants/things we bought like wine and cheese...that I think it is practical. Also, the price of some of the digital copies is sooooo cheap this appeals to me.

Perhaps I have gone mad.

Not that I would refuse buying print books. Garage sales and the used book store are my great friends.  (The library here is intimidating and I just can't bring myself to go there even after four years. It's just not in an area I feel comfortable going, 100 feet from the Detroit border.  I'm sure its safe, I'm sure of lots of things...but I just don't want to go there. It's not like the small town, nice libraries I am used to and its going to be more full of people than I am used to and after working 40 hours a week among the general public I really really don't like being among the general public on my free time.)'

I do not have the funds at this moment.  Which is fine.  Immediate gratification is nice, but if I have to wait a while then I will be more certain of my decision. 

Of course, once Jon found out, he shot down my attempts to buy the "Plain Jane" cheap version.  And I know why...8 Gigs is not a lot. My Ipod is 16 Gigs and I have it maxed out...so therefore 32 Gigs sounds much better and that one can use the web as well....and play music....and lots of things I hadn't considered...like I can use my existing phone charger to charge it therefore not needing another plug to be packed or forgotten....

We shall see how this plays out.
