can I just rant that I saved for MONTHS to be able to afford the original Kindle and bought one last April.... and still haven't used it once... Why you ask? HARRY FREAKING POTTER that's why. Thank you JKR for not releasing HP to Kindle and ruining my life. LOL I started reading through the HP series again when I moved to my new apartment (last february) and I haven't even finished the fifth one yet. I have a horrible habit of falling asleep when I read and I am a slow reader anyways... So now my kindle is still untouched (I've bought things on it, just not read any of them) and here comes Amazon releasing some newer more awesome ones and dropping the price of the one I saved months for, to half.......... GRRRRRRR I blame dyslexia really. I'da been done with HP months ago if I didn't have trouble reading. Oh well. I like the kindle I have. It doesn't have it's own 3g but I can connect to wifi to download. I named it "Reed" LOL anyways. I would love a Kindle Fire but I'm so poor right now I can only dream about it (til they cut the price in half when they come out with the latest new model next year!)
