Unboxing Kindle 3G

 Much as Bear and I love opening pastry boxes.

 We have a BIG problem with anything techie. Some things sit in their boxes unopened for months

 When the new Kindle 3G arrived on Wednesday we looked at the box a lot...

 Finally we decided a post would do the trick. We would have to open it. Ta Da

 Being a tad dyslexic, instructions throw us for a loop. There's a nice video here on opening and setting up your new Kindle. We played it safe and called Amazon 866-321-8851

 Doodly-doodly-do We're uploading

 How come we got the %$#Kindle unboxed and setup?

We wanted to see David Lebovitz' Paris Pastry Guide.

 Granted we already bought the app for our iPod Touch (which is gathering dust unused in a drawer).

 HMPH

 The Kindle seems a LOT EASIER :)

 Should we have gotten the Kindle Fire for color?

 YUM

 We'll manage. It's the useful info we want. Less visual temptations won't hurt a bit.

 And we're loving the 'Daily Deals'

Thanks La Table de Nana and all the Kindle tips Friday

Bon Week-End!

Louvre bookstore

More often than not when I visit the musee Louvre I avoid the lines.

And go instead to the Louvre bookstore under the pyramid.

It's never too crowded.

You can check out other exhibition in Paris - look at their catalogs.

I'm a book-aholic. I love bookstores. I'll never give them up and France hasn't either.

But I decided finally to give in and try a Kindle.

There will be books I won't be able to read on it.

Or maybe not?

At least I'll finally be able to read in bed not just on the subway.

Pestering Kindle readers on the subway and reading La Table de Nana's kindle post made up my mind.It is lighter than carrying a book around.

It might be nice to have some travel books in my bag in Paris,

Like Thirza Vallois' guide to the 1-6 arrondissements.

One thing you can't do with a Nook, iPad or Kindle is rest your teacup and macarons on it.

Do you LOVE your E-Readers PBers?

Do tell all!
