All I want for Christmas is...


Yes. I know it is only February, but this was on my list last year. I told people that I knew what I wanted, but they shouldn't buy it for me YET.


The Amazon Kindle, an eReader, is my dream gift right now. During the Christmas 2007 season, the Kindle cost $399. I thought, since this is a new product, that if I just waited till Christmas 2008, the price would come down and perhaps there will have been an upgrade by then (I was taking my ideas from the launch of the iPhone). Well, demand still is WAY beyond supply and Amazon cannot keep up. I am not thinking the price will be dropping by Christmas 2008. It is still going on my list.


As an avid reader with VERY LITTLE room in my house for books, I go through a couple books a week and end up giving them aways to friends and family. Some days I finish a book and (YIKES) do not have a new book to start. That is a horrible feeling for me. I cherish my time reading in bed before going to sleep. When I don't have anything to read, I feel cheated of that time to myself. Well, the Kindle would solve that problem. I would just order a new one on the spot. I also would not have to worry about storage issues for used books. This is my perfect gift. Avid readers...check it out.
