It is on sale right now too, isn't it?
Lisa Kay wrote: "It is on sale right now too, isn't it?"don't know but I already have it at home so I'm good to go as soon as June 1st gets here!
I think I have it to. In paperback.
Yeah, it is on sale for $4.99 on Kindle: .
I have it in paperback, do not have a Kindle yet but want one. Every time I start to buy one something else comes up that I need the money for, you know how that go's.
Yes, unfortunately, I do! I really wish I was a "Trust Fund" baby. LOL!
You can always download Kindle to certain smartphones, Ipod touch, and your PC all for free. It's the same way with Nook & Google Books(except the PC download) too.
Great point, Jessi! Yes, I did that for over a year. I think I saved so much on getting e-Books from my library that I was able to get my KF.
yes I do download a few to my smartphone but it is just not the same has haveing a Kindle.
I understand although since I have a Nook & Kindle account I'm going to get an Ipad
Jessi, just in case you're looking to use it mainly to read... I have a friend who bought an iPad and was really disappointed at the battery life compared to an eReader.
Oh, the battery life of the Kindle Fire is wonderful! I guess that is what everyone raves about the most on it. So, it is 1/2 the screen size of an iPad, and has all the same features, sans the camera. Just love mine. I wanted to save money on e-books downloaded from my public library; however, I'm spending a fortune on audiobooks b/c it plays them so nicely.
I'm in! I haven't decided which version I'll go with, but it may well be spelling out the month.
I am in. I will post as I go.
Super, Lara & Dawn!! I added you two.
