Here is my birthday present...it came yesterday....
I slaved to make this cute little cover...and one for Loverbrain's too....I actually broke my sewing machine (story for another blog). AND...*sigh*....I can't stomach it...I worried this might happen...and managed to talk myself into it anyway....BUT... I'm a dork...
I'm returning her today...I just can't justify it. It feels like a racket for someone like me. I mean, I go to the public library
at least once a week...and pay nothing for even NEW RELEASES....I can WRITE in my Bible now...
The books that are FREE are one's I've either read (classics) or could easily get from the library and read once and return. I mean, if I ever read War and Peace...I'm thinking it will be a one time thing, ya know? Things like Agatha Christie cost 99 cents....and I fear I'd be tempted to spend money on something I can "get up the energy" to go and borrow for FREE.
Now, for my Loverbrains this is an ideal tool. He travels ALOT...and cannot carry all the manuels, mp3s, fiction and non fiction books, bibles, etc. that he would need/enjoy while in the air or international. For him, this totally makes sense and is SUPER wonderful. For one of my best friends, this is an easy tool to use while waiting out piano lessons and soccer practices...and for church too.
For right now, it's not me....and to get rid of my HORRIBLE BUYER'S REMORSE...I'm returning her today for a
complete refund. Anyone want a cute case?

On the plus side, the cute case you made is adorable and nicer than the ones you can buy, you should try and make a few more and sell them to said mommies at soccer games. Might make a pretty penny and justify owning your own later. :-) Gill
That IS a cute case! Maybe you can make and sell them on eBay or Etsy!
To me the only reason I'd ever consider an e-reader of any kind is if I traveled a lot -- which I don't. There's a lot of other things I'd rather do with that money. Hope you can get the money back and choose seomthing fun!
