Janet, when I was so busy teaching, I discovered audiobooks. I commuted to work, and it was a perfect solution to having no time for books. I am now hooked on audibooks, and have just begun to read "real" books last year. I still prefer audiobooks, although I am forcing myself to read. The Kindle is great for that. Right now, I have an audiobook, "Chiefs," in the car, "Horns" on my pc in the house, "I Am Not A Serial Killer" on the Kindle, and an old science fiction book in the bathroom.
Reading a book is different from listening to one. I love both ways. I also fall asleep reading if I'm too comfy. PS Have any of you read Ian McEwan's books? He wrote "Atonement." I have read 3 of his books this year. Amazing!

Audiobooks sound like a great idea. I do have a couple in my IPad, but haven't read them yet.

Judy I received my montly newsletter from the public library and they are offering free books for nook, ipad and sony. They mentioned to be on look out for kindle in near future. I am so looking forward to that, I guess it will be like taking out a book with your library card. You should check to see if you library has it or not..

That sounds like something Mike would be interested in reading Gina. Thanks for the suggestion!

I LOVE my Kindle!!! Can't comment on the others.
I'm reading the second book of the 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy. After that, I have The Night Circus ready. On my Ipod is The Age of Miracles, which my book discussion group is going to talk about. I don't love it, but it's good. In the car, I'm listening to Canada, which is wonderful. So many books, so little time!

I enjoy my Kindle, too! Judy, I read 50 shades of Grey. I probably won't read the rest of them, but there are questions that I would love to have answered, lol! You'll have to let me know how it comes out
