Well, my husband got me an Amazon Kindle for Christmas!  For those of you who’ve never heard of it, it’s basically an electronic book reader. You can download books in seconds (it works through Sprint cell towers) and read them with ease!  (It’s easier to hold than a book!)  For homeschoolers, it’s a dream come true!  I’ve found some beautiful old books online that are free! Many of the classics like Pride and Prejudice and Anne of Greene Gables are free as well.  (My daughter did buy an old Nancy Drew book yesterday for $2.)  If you want recent books, you go to Amazon and buy them for up to $10 if they are available.  (If not available, you click a button telling them to please make it available.)

In addition, it’s also a great way to keep hundreds of books in something thinner than a small book!  (Are there any other homeschoolers out there that feel like their house is being overrun by books?)  I read somewhere that it’s one of Oprah’s favorite things.  Hmmm…. I can see why.
