Down to one Kindle

Do you know what a Kindle is? Well, its an electronic device that you download books to. it is sold by Amazon and I thought it would be the perfect thing to take on vacation and to also remove the clutter of books to be read or already read on my night table. So, after much thought I decided to get one (not inexpensive so had to think it through!). Well, this is a remarkable device. It has the capacity to hold up to 20 books; no book costs more than $9.99 and you can download from where every you are; well, except for my house. The technology is based on the same waves as cell phone coverage. That should have give me my first hint since the cell phone coverage here is limited! Well, after many attempts I could not get online; customer service said according to their info I should be fine. Well, they decided it must be the Kindle they sent me so they sent a new one...same problem. Well this happened a second time; new Kindle arrived and, you guessed it, still didn't work. Now I'm at the point where I'm thinking I may go into competition with Amazon and sell my own Kindles. As a matter of fact I have named the 3rd one Number 3 as this is starting to get funny. Well, it seems that this one (#3) has the ability to work, sometimes. So now Amazon wants the others back! They are no fun! So much for my latest business! Anyway, I suggest going online and checking it out. It is a wonderful convenience although you do have to get used to not turning pages!

My Kindle FINALLY has success!

Are you familiar with the Kindle? It is an electronic reading device developed by Amazon. I thought it would be such a cool, convenient item to own; so approximately a month ago I decided to splurge and buy one. I had all kinds of rationale. first, it would get rid of all the books on my night table; second the books would cost less than the average book I buy now. The books cost $9.99 or less. The other benefit is you can put approx 20 books at a time on the device. It all sounded so very practical to me. The day arrived and waiting at my door was My Kindle. So, I charged it and got ready to go shopping; one problem, I couldn't get an Internet connection. Well I tried for several days...no luck. Before I could call the Kindle help line they were on the phone with me. We tried all kinds of experiments, no luck...could not connect. Somehow or other the book that I ordered for the device did arrive on Kin during the night. I was able to read the book but not make contact with the site here at home although the customer service dept could not understand why there was a problem. The staff was so very lovely but the connection could not be made.

Several days later a new Kindle arrived at m door. I quick opened the box charged Kin and tried again; nothing! With the old Kindle I could sign on away from home; this new one would not even let me do that. Well, several days later the CS people contacted me again;still not idea why I couldn't log on. The thought, maybe I needed a new device. We talked about it and decided that was not going to solve the problem; I would just have to be patient again!

Well, here we are another 3 or 4 days later and what is waiting at my front door? You're right, another Kindle. At this point I have very little if any hope of it working. However, I do hook it up and would you believe, it worked! I was able to download a new book and reload a previously purchased book to this device! I can't believe it! Let's see how it work tomorrow!
