Welcome to Light My Kindle
Welcome to LightMyKindle.com. This is my way of exploring all the wonderful things about the Amazon Kindle e-reader. I wanted to write a review of the Kindle, but I kept putting it off because I learned new things about my Kindle just about every time I used it.
I received my Kindle as a wedding present from my husband in February. We’re gadget geeks, so it was an extremely thoughtful gift. It arrived just after we got back from our honeymoon since it was sold out and on back order until extremely recently. I liked it as soon as I opened the Amazon box. The Kindle was packaged in a fake book which perfectly illustrated the difference in size between the Kindle and a real book.
The second thing I liked about the Kindle was that the instruction book was on the Kindle in digital form. Who needs a bulky instruction manual when you can browse and even search it on the device itself?
The first Kindle book I purchased was On Writing by Stephen King. Reading a book on the Kindle is a wonderful experience. You don’t notice you’re reading on an electronic device. You melt right into the story just as if you were reading a typical book. The first thing I noticed that was noticeably better than reading a traditional book was the weight. I love reading while lounging on the couch, but that was impossible with books like the Harry Potter series (at least the latter books) and a lot of Stephen King novels.
As I read more on my Kindle and spend more time with it, I learn new things it can do. Light My Kindle is my way of sharing that with other Kindle owners and people thinking about buying their own Kindle (which is highly recommended!). Feel free to ask me a question about the Kindle by emailing cj@lightmykindle.com.
