My current stack of books

My books, before and after the Amazon Kindle

Back in March, I wrote a post called What’s on your bedside table?.

Last month, I got an Amazon Kindle.

I love it!

I have about six times more books on my bedstand and room for my coffee cup. :)

    Marc,

    How does that work? Do you buy the kimble and then purchase the rights to read the books?

    Hi Jan,

    Yep, you buy a Kindle (or get someone to buy one for you!).

    Then you purchase the less expensive ebook/Kindle book versions of the books you want.

    You can do this from the Amazon site or from the Kindle itself.

    I did run into a situation this weekend where two books I was interested in weren’t available in Kindle versions.

    The cool thing (for me) is that you can also email PDF’s to yourself and have them show up on your kindle.
