Kindle

Hi (or Yassou) from Greece! We have spent the past week R and R’ing with my inlaws on vacation. It has been incredible to do nothing but rest, recuperate, relax, walk, eat, and be together as a family. Due to my heavy travel schedule this summer (combined with my ability to read a lot over the summer months), I bought a Kindle so I didn’t have to lug around heavy books in all my travels. Although I love physical books, I must say that I have been LOVING my Kindle. LOVE LOVE LOVE. It has been so great to have multiple books in one little device, and know that even if I run out of books during the summer travels, I can easily buy new ones. But the best part has been the fact that my son has all of a sudden had a HUGE interest in reading on it. He loves to read, kinda sorta maybe. But somehow, reading on the Kindle has created this whole new interest in reading, and he can’t seem to put it down. The only downside in this is that I then have to fight with him for it (but it’s a battle I’m happy to “lose”).

Cruzzie loves his lego catalogues more than anything. Since he was young, he has carted them around on car travel, restaurants or any sort of activity. He loves to read his catalogues. But ever since he discovered that he could read on my Kindle…..

He can’t put it down….which I am all for because I really love the fact that he is reading more books….

I truly hope that he continues to read on it!

So, if you are traveling a lot this summer *OR* you have a kid who might need a little coaxing and/or probing to read more, I highly suggest purchasing the Kindle. Not cheap, but well worth it, and I am ever so happy to have so many books on it to read and enjoy (Currently, I am reading “Ensemble” and Cruzzie is reading “Star Wars Empire’s End”). I hope you all had a Happy 4th and that you are enjoying summer!
