Ginevra Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I was attracted to these when they first came out and now the newest version is supposed to be really nice. It is pretty big bucks, though. Maybe for my birthday next spring, if the price has come down. But are they worth it? Would it do what I want it for? My main purpose would be to be able to have books without having the continuing, growing issue of storing books. And the idea that I could take my Kindle with me, say, to the beach and I would have a hundred books available...that sounds pretty close to nirvana to me. Does any major curriculum come available for Kindle? Like SOTW? Or Usborne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrrl Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 There have been some threads on this in the past, do a search! But beware... the folks on here who use them are really persuasive about them... you might end up with one before you know it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Thank you, I'll do that. And IKWYM - I was looking at it more on Amazon last night and I started to think, "Man, I want this RIGHT NOW!" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy2BeautifulGirls Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I did see some curriculum that is available for it, but I can't seem to remember what it was. However, you would not be able to resell it once you were done with it. I keep going back and forth on whether I would really like one or not. For the past several years we have not really purchased any non-homeschool books, but instead borrowed them from the library. And you cannot donate or loan your books out when you are done. But I sure would like to have one. Just not sure how practical it would be. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca VA Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Piggybacking: Does anyone know how user-specific a Kindle is? For example, if someone steals your Kindle, can they instantly start accessing all your downloaded books? Or is it password-protected?

Ginevra Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 However, you would not be able to resell it once you were done with it. True, but I'm not big on selling used curriculum. I mostly just want it to disappear when I don't need it anymore so it's not sitting there requiring me to do something about it! :001_smile: Piggybacking: Does anyone know how user-specific a Kindle is?
