Me and My Kindle Mantra & Alice in Wonderland Too!

So I was chatting on the Kindle Boards with one of my new fave authors and fave gals in general Barbara Silkstone...

Yes, "the" Barbara Silkstone of the super fabulous read THE SECRET DIARY OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND AGE 42 AND THREE-QUARTERS, and if you haven't read this, get it right now and prepare to laugh your ass off...

I was telling Barbara that her Alice story was next in my Kindle Queue!!!

Then saying:

I can't wait to read it tonight while comfy in my chair - with a cocktail, Keurig-Kup, or cocoa close by.

Nothin' beats the 5 K sounds: a fabulous Kindle story, a cocktail, a Keurig Kup or cocoa, and a comfy chair!

And then I realized that I'd been using the 5 K's a bunch lately...on not just the fabulous Kindle Boards, but on Facebook, Twitter, the Amazon Kindle Facebook Fan Page and terrific Facebook Pages like Book Worms.

So, I'm officially recognizing the 5 K's as my new Kindle Mantra:

Nothin' beats being curled-up in your fave comfy chair or couch, with your Kindle in your lap, and either a cocktail, Keurig Kup or cocoa close-by.

Okay...that should get you started and sooo beyond in the Holiday Spirit!!!

And here's a wonderful Kindle Tip to keep in mind as you're reading...

If you're like me and on the go, go, go, no worries! With any of the FREE Kindle Apps plus your new Kindle E-reader too, you can start reading, using any device, with one of the Apps and/or your Kindle itself, and thanks to Amazon Kindle's amazing Whispernet technology, every device remembers right where you left off and opens to that exact page on the next device you choose to read on!!!

So, for example, I can read on my iPhone - while out running errands and/or waiting in the doc's office...then go home and settle-in with my Kindle and be right where I left off on my phone. Now how cool is that?!

P.S. If you haven't ordered your Kindle, do so today!!! Why?! One word: Oprah!!! That's right!!! Today on her show, Oprah is promoting the Kindle and giving her audience Kindles as one of her Favorite Things!!! The last time she did that in 2008 (also during the Holiday Season), Amazon sold 100,000 Kindles per day for the next week then ran-out of units until the following March!!!

My Kindle and Me: It's Here! It's Here!

I went to our door.

And what to my wondering eyes should appear...

But a tiny little Amazon box with a Kindle to hold dear!!!

Ohhh yeahhh!!!

Thanks to my beyond fabulous Sweet Man, Santa came early to D. D. Scott-ville and brought us our Kindle 3!!!

And OMGosh is it super amazing!!!

Want to know the best part of all?!

Well...as many of you know, I'm a complete Techno Dunce. But I was reading on my new Kindle in no more than five minutes from the time I opened the box!!!

That's right! Even I could figure it out!!!

So I want to share all the Kindle 3's Techno Magic and show y'all how truly fabulous it really is!!!

Here are a few of my right-outta-the-box observations:

1. I luuuvvved that when I turned it on for the first time, the screen read "Welcome, D. D.!"...and yes, I could read that for myself or turn on the feature that allows the Kindle to read it to me...yeah, I know...how cool is that?! You can read your Kindle or your Kindle can read to you!!!

2. I had been sooo stewing about how I'd get all 46 of the books we'd already purchased from Amazon's Kindle Store - using its FREE Kindle PC, Laptop and Smart Phone Apps - from those Apps to our new Kindle...but stewing was sooo not necessary! If you buy your Kindle from Amazon, using the same Amazon account you already buy Kindle E-books from, your Kindle will automatically sync with those apps so all your E-books are already there on your new Kindle screen!!!

3. The letter Amazon sends to your Kindle welcoming you - by name, btw - mentions that their primary design objective was for the device itself to disappear while you're reading, leaving you, the reader, with nothing but the fabulous words, ideas, thoughts, and stories of your favorite authors. And I thought, cool idea but how is that going to happen? Well, folks...I'm not kiddin' ya...that's exactly what it does. Somehow, while you're reading on your Kindle, your eyes no longer "see" the frame and/or device itself, you're just cruising along with the words and the story. Unbelievable!!!

I'm tellin' ya...my Sweet Man and Santa outdid themselves this year!!!

This Techno Dunce is in Cyber World Bliss!!!

On Dasher...on Dancer...you've got tons more Kindles to deliver!!!

P.S. We got the Kindle 3 ($189 version w/wi-fi & 3G).

P.S.S. I'll continue to post about My Kindle & Me Experiences!!! And please share your experiences too!!!
