Oberon Designs

Oberon Designs is a wonderful company out of California that makes the most beautiful leather items. They also make silver pendants and such. For my original Kindle I had purchased one of their covers. It was lovely. They are expensive, but well worth the price for the craftmanship. This is my favorite.......

Since I kept the wonderful Kindle 3 I need a new cover. Oh the choices.!

Temptation

My chaotic life seems slightly calmer at this moment.  The big difference is that I am not working nearly as much as I used to.  I don't miss working but I do miss the supply of extra money for frivolous spending.  For now, I am toning things down a bit and learning to live simpler, not needing the newest in electronics, settling for what I have so to speak.  Sure, I still want the Ipad down deep because of it's shiny self, but my Macbook works perfectly.  Which brings me to another dilema.  They released the Kindle 3.  Smaller, sleeker, way lower in price.  Our house has three Kindles now.  A few weeks ago I couldn't resist clicking the add to cart button, justifying it by saying that all of the kids could have their own.  Ah, but  it was backordered.  Well of course I forgot about it until I got an email yesterday informing me that it was shipping.  I need to cancel, I thought, to many bills due this week.  The timing is bad.  Where is the damn cancel button...great...due to the shipping soon status it wasn't an option.  Go figure...so on September 9th I will have in my hands the new Kindle 3....can I posibbly resist it's shineness?????

Kindle Skins

Noah wants to skin his Xbox 360.  So while searching for something awesome, I stumbled upon Decal Girls website.  They have skins for everything, including my beloved Kindle 2.  They are all so cute that I can't decide!

There were many more, but these were some of may favorites.

Tree Saver

I love technology. Not only do I love technology I love the thought of saving trees. I embraced both in December when I bought my lovely Kindle. What's a Kindle you may ask? It's a wonderful device that let's you read your books on it. I was skeptical at first. I love books. I love the smell of books and bookstores. I love the feel of paper. But as I sat one day looking at the tons of books that clutter my house I knew there had to be a better way. I don't have room for all of this accumulation, not to mention the hundreds of books that died for my entertainment. That's when I found the Kindle...or it found me while surfing on Amazon. I read review after review on the device before taking the plunge. I was worried about plunking down over $300.00 for something I may hate...I hate reading on the computer. But people seemed to love it...saying that you felt like you were reading a book due to e-ink technology. So I had to do it. The geek and environmentalist in my took over. It arrived at Christmas in cute packaging. I plugged it in, downloaded a few books and instantly feel in love..again. I can't tell the difference when reading. In fact, it's easier, especially while lying in bed. I carry ALL my books with me...1500 of them...and the best part is the FREE SAMPLES. I'm addicted. I'm a sample addict. I get to read 3 chapters from any book that tickles my fancy before swiping my debit card. Oh yes, truly smitten. So smitten that I plopped down another $359.00 when the new one was realized not to long ago. Gave the other one to my daughter. I finally go the biggest reader in the house on board (my youngest daughter). Her books are like a plague that fills her room. Overflowing. Made her read a book on the Kindle and she likes it! May be another baby addition to our Kindle family.

My Kindle is named Winny, Winiford to be exact. I used to go to bed with a book every night. Sam used to laugh and say that I was like Winiford on Hocus Pocus (love that movie) that used to call her Book of Shadows "Oh boooooooook". So the name stuck. Now the Kindle is $299.00!
