I bought Magz a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas. She has already started using it. It has made me think of getting something similar for myself. It is mainly for e-books as I have been downloading a few of the classics from the Project Gutenberg website. Some of the books are ones that I read when I was younger but would love to reread. There are others that I have wanted to read for years and never seemed to remember when choosing books to buy. That is mainly due to the fact that most books were bought through impulse buys or through the charity shops. Not always the best way to buy reading material for the selection is usually restricted. Still it is a cheap way to find things to read. I haven’t been to a library in years as I never seem to find the time which is sad as I used to love going and browse through all those dusty shelves.
Magz is well pleased with the Fire. She has been using it for reading at night and the kids have also been using it for gaming. Mostly Tammy. She’s so in love with it that she has talked Calum into getting her a tablet for her Christmas. Of course he isn’t getting her the Kindle one though I’m sure the one he does get will keep her happy. That is as long as she can play Temple Run on it.
As I said I also want a tablet though it shall be after I have gotten Magz other gift. Yes as usual I am planning on getting Magz something else though I’ve yet to find the time to get into town to have a look. In the coming weeks I’ll have to get dropped off in town to have a nose to find something. At least she is enjoying her major gift.
