It arrived, just as Amazon promised, yesterday afternoon! I think my kids were more excited than I was. I approached the box with trepidation. Would I be able to make this thing work? Or did I waste all that money? By the way, the price has gone down considerably. It's about $90 less than when it first came out. Within 5 minutes of getting it out of the box, plugging it in so it could charge, I was able to download my first book. What book? Well, I've been wanting to read this one for a long time--The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. I think that's the title. It's a mouthful and I usually get it all mixed up. Anyhoo, after I downloaded it, I had to run the kids to some activity, so it was much later when I was able to sit down with it. It is soooooooooooooooooooooo light! By the way, I did get a cover for it. I thought it was important to help protect it. And so, I read a little before I went to bed. It's saving my place until I can get back to it...hopefully later today.
