Wow! Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday!
Wishing you many more birthdays!
Lea
Thanks, Lea - it was pretty good. :)
Wow! I never get half that much. Someone likes chocolate, eh? Must have been a party. Happy Birthday!
Colleen: Gotta have chocolate, especially if it's dark. And not really a party, but dinner with friends, and I actually got two gifts before then (the Cricut, from my sister, and the watch -- which was from a coworker, and there was a story behind it).
Happy birthday! It sounds like you were the winner in the gifts! Good for you. I am glad you have so many friends. Enjoy your Kindle Fire - I certainly like mine.
Thanks, Anita. I have been slowly finding my way around the Kindle Fire.
exactly! you had a good haul on your birthday! I m a holdout on getting a kindle tho lol
Thanks, Jennifer. I admit, I still prefer real books whenever possible, but you can pick up a lot of free books for ereaders, especially classics.
Nice haul. All I got for my birthday was a couple of dishes, some cloth napkins, an Amazon gift card and a tiny bit o' money. Everyone down here is tapped out these days and my friends and I don't really exchange birthday gifts.
I'm considering getting a Kindle (maybe a plain ereader) for the sheer fact that I dislike so many of the books I read these days that I don't want to keep them but I hate having to pack them up to get rid of them. It would be so much easier to just delete from an ereader. haha
Sorry you didn't have a more exciting birthday. I have to be honest, so far I'm liking the setup of my Nook library more than that of the Kindle, but that's just me. On the other hand, there are A LOT more free books available for Kindle than Nook, especially for classics. I also like that I can change a page on the Nook with the same hand with which I'm holding it, instead of having to swipe as you do with the Kindle. Readability is about the same for both.
