By now, you all know I love my Kindle. But I am also loving my Kindle accessories. You can get anything from a simple black zip around case, to a beautiful leather one. There are dozens of choices. The two I chose are below. The first one is actually a deep cherry color, not quite as maroon as the photo. The second, and the one I use most often, is the green bamboo print by the well known Halsea. They have luggage that matches it, but I don’t really like that much matching! The little book light completes the Kindle for travel. I mostly read it without a cover, but if I want to take my Kindle with me, I tuck it into the case to protect it. After 6 months of wear, they still look like new.
That little inside pocket is perfect for a hotel room key or credit card.
Another great thing about the Kindle is that the books are less expensive than buying them at the bookstore. Most hard covers are $10, and most paperbacks are about $5. But I sat down and looked at my purchases the other night, and I realized that not only has the Kindle paid for itself with the money I saved on buying books, but I also saved an additional $500 off bookstore prices. And I’ve only had it about ten months. Not too bad, I think.
Amazon didn’t pay me for this post. But I think they should have!
Best,

Slowly but surely, you are convincing me to buy a Kindle. I have been resisting though not sure why. It would be nice to save some money as my book budget, to say nothing about the storage, is a bit out of hand. XO
ReplyDeleteI want a Kindle so bad but I just got an IPod Touch. I am going to have to wait a while. I have about 200 books at home right now to read so I just can't justify it.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI have a nook which I got for Christmas and I must admit, I am still getting used to it. Something about the feel of a book that I love--but for convenience, you can't beat the Kindle or Nook. Have a great day!
Nice. And with all the money you save on books you can buy a bunch of these awesome covers! LOVE the red one!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteSUCH chicness! Now that I've seen the accessories I really, really want one : )
ReplyDeleteI'd love one of those to read the hundreds of PDF's i have...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cases. I really like the dark cherry one. I don't have a Kindle yet, but am hoping to get one by summer.
ReplyDeleteAgree and how wonderful are those cases?! They are enough to make me buy a kindle! By the way, how is kindle in the dark? Hubby does not like the lights on when I crawl into bed after blogging till the wee hours of the night. I have been relying on reading the news on my iphone but am thinking the kindle would be perfect for those occasions. How is the background light? Would you suggest a nite light as well?
ReplyDeleteThx..Jeanne :)
