yellowperch Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Why didn't I think of this earlier? I was resisting one for myself because I use the library and I just don't want to spend $10 for every book I read. I'd go broke in a flash. Plus I want to wait until they are cheaper and even cooler. But DH--he travels to lost of dreadful places, often with long layovers or other kinds of painful waiting and waiting. He usually works all the time but he has told me he wants to do more reading for himself. His work partner travels with one. Why didn't I think of this before? So, I have 1 hour and ten minute to decide (if I want freee shipping by XMas). Should I do it? Should I wait until after Christmas when there is bound to be a better one that is cheaper? (I'm not giving him anything great this year) If I do get one should I get the $139 or the $189 version? What is the biggest diffference? Thanks for your advice.

PinkInTheBlue Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yes, yes, yes! He sounds to me like the perfect candidate for a Kindle. Personally I would go with the $189 because then if he wants to pick up a new book right before flying or at the hotel when he finishes his book sooner than he thought, he doesn't have to wait around to find WiFi. Do it! One of the top 3 best gifts ever for me and I didn't even want it originally. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anneofalamo Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Funny, my hubby and I have discussed this for 2 weeks. He wants one, and I want to get him one. We decided to wait til after the Christmas crazy and go and find the exact one he wants! He got a robe (two of them, a light weight and heavy weight one) because he needs one and it is BOGO at KMART! lol if you decide and love or hate it, please update!! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Get the $189 one for a traveller, for sure. There won't be better deals in the next couple months. . . These are brand new models & were just priced. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperch Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Doing it. This must be the reason I didn't get something else nifty for him. And I can load a few books for him too. And borrow it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim.4dogs Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I love mine, and I didn't even want it at first. (My mom got it for me last year.) I'm sure he'll love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowperch Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I bet he will too. The info that they won't be dropping the price or coming out with similarly priced but better ones helped me make my decision. So did "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I'll post my review, Anne. It was fun to just buy it. Usually I'm frugal, agonizing about every dime girl. Didn't manage to get free 2-day shipping (would have arrived 12/27) but did get 3.99 shipping. Now I'm excited. It's nice to really surprise someone! Edited December 23, 2010 by yellowperch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut out and left these words that made me smile and think, oh yeah, you did the right thing!! Merry Christmas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
