. I've had one since August 2008, and there were times that beautiful little gadget saved my sanity while lying on LG's floor waiting for her to be asleep enough for me to be able to sneak out of the room. I wish Kindles had been around when I was nursing...one handed reading while holding a baby who fell asleep and woke up instantly if I moved would've been a truly wonderful thing. Besides which, I've read more books in the last year and a half or so than I have in a long, long time. And even better, a lot of them were free - and not old-classics-public-domain free, either. To go off on a tangent a bit, yes, those publishers' promotions do work. I have bought several books after getting the first one in the series free.As much as I love my Kindle, though, there are times I don't want to carry it around. Now that I don't have to carry a diaper bag anymore, I've gotten my purse down to a wallet on a string with a cell phone pocket. Carrying my Kindle requires me to carry a much larger bag, which I don't usually want to do. I always have my Droid with me. While I typically find myself checking Facebook or reading comics or blogs when I'm stuck somewhere with a few minutes to kill (like getting to preschool pick up 15 minutes early because I'm running too late to go home but too early to be there at dismissal), I'm MUCH more excited about being able to pick up wherever I left off on whatever books I'm reading on my Kindle that's sitting at home next to my bed.
I have to admit, I've been frustrated and disappointed that there were free Kindle apps for PC, iPhone, and Blackberry, but not even a whisper of a Kindle for my Droid. But I'm happy now, waiting
