I finally broke down and asked my Dad for a Kindle. I had been debating for quite a while between a Kindle and an iPad. I still haven't decided if I'll get the iPad, but when I saw a Kindle that a friend here had at work - I was sold. She showed me the different font sizes, the audio part and all of the other bells and whistles. So, I asked my Dad for an early birthday present.
I justified the purchase (for my Dad) by saying that all of the kids could use it as well as Dad. And today, I found out just how helpful having a Kindle can be.
JA finished reading one of his books for school, but still had about an hour of reading time left. He looked on his reading list and saw that all of his books were "Library" books - meaning, I needed to get them from the library to read.
So, he called me at work and asked me what to do. I asked him to list off a few of the books. One he listed was Uncle Remus Returns. I surfed over to the Kindle store, did a quick search and found this: Uncle Remus Songs and Sayings. I purchased it (for $0.00!) and told him to go get the Kindle and turn it on. He did and a few moments later, he had his next book to read.
Problem solved - all thanks to the Kindle!
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Matthew 13:44-46

We recently got a Kindle, too, and use Robinson for homeschooling. We can download most robinson books at http://www.gutenberg.org. SO MUCH easier than printing the books!
