It's no secret that we have a lot of books in our household. In fact, there are several bookshelves where I've had to double-stack books (two rows deep on various shelves) just to fit them all in.
So when Amar decided that he wanted to purchase a Kindle, I was very much open to the expense, because it meant that there would eventually be less book clutter in our house. Little did I know that I would soon become a Kindle fan.
Since welcoming Anjali to our household, I've gotten a TON of use out of the Kindle. I think I probably spent about 3-4 hours reading now, mainly because there's not much else I can do when I'm feeding her. And since feeding her means that I have one hand free, the Kindle is perfect. Basically, I can feed Anjali, holding her with one hand, and read a book in the other hand. I can turn pages one-handed (a simple click of a button). It's super easy to use, and I can switch between books without getting up. Good stuff!
Thus far, I've read the following books on the Kindle in the last 5 weeks:
- Percy Jackson: The Titan's Curse
- Percy Jackson: The Battle of the Labyrinth
- Percy Jackson: The Last Olympian
- The Bible: Psalms 20-73 (I'm reading through Psalms and Provers this summer with our church via The Voyage)
- Moneyball: The Art of Winning and Unfair Game
- Liar's Poker
Also, books are cheaper on the Kindle. Books that would cost $10-$30 to purchase soft/hard copies of are only $4-$10 on the Kindle. All in all, the Rama household highly recommends the Kindle if you're considering purchasing one. Yay!

woohoo for reading while you nurse! I've finished a gazillion books over the last four years because of one baby or another needing to eat. My dad has a Kindle that I've been coveting for a year.
