I’m blogging for Julie today because she’s sick with 101 fever. 
GET WELL SOON, JULIE!
Today we’ll talk about my favorite things: electronic gadgets. And tomorrow when I blog for Janelle (who blogged for me on Monday), I’m going to post an Plotmonkeys exclusive excerpt of HOT PROPERTY (7/08).
But for now, let’s get DOWN TO BUSINESS.
You’re wondering what electronic gadget Carly can possibly blog about that she doesn’t already own, right? 
GET REAL. If there’s one to be had, I will find it!
So … winging it’s way to me is something I never thought I’d buy. An eBook reader. An Amazon KINDLE. 
Why? The answer isn’t the obvious one: because it’s a gadget. When I went to Aruba I packed ten or more paperback books. I read over seven of them. I left seven in the room and brought home the unread ones. I was trying to lighten my load. Remember we pay for overage on luggage these days! I checked on Amazon and discovered the romance books I read are available on the Kindle. I stored the information in the back of my mind. When I came home, I looked into the Kindle only to find Amazon had it on back order with no info on when it will be available. I have quite a few trips coming up, long plane rides, etc. and I’m thinking … this would be cool.
Maybe.
So I emailed the only person I know that purchased one: Julie Kenner and asked how she liked her toy. She raved. LOVE LOVE LOVES the thing. She directed me to eBay for a brand new one. So I am now awaiting my new toy.
Will I miss the feel of paper in my hands? I don’t know. But I will be able to carry the ten books I’d bring to read with me in one little portable device … So on my end, STAY TUNED!
On your end … does anyone have the Kindle or other eReader and want to give their two cents? Even if you don’t own one, what do you think?
