Thanks for sharing Gladys. It sounds like you two are close. I hope my son and I are still close when he hits 13! The ONLY thing I find appealing about a Kindle is being able to bump up the font size. When I check books out from the library I try to get large print because they are much easier for me to read. Most of the business books I'd like to read don't come in large print (sigh). Regardless of where one stands on the Kindle issue there is nothing like the smell of a NEW book! What a sweet story!

When we began, he was barely reading,so I read them to him, usually at bedtime. As the years went by, he began reading them for himself (although occasionally, he'd ask me to read at bedtime). When the 7th book came out, he read it in a day, then began reading it to me when we'd be riding in the car so I could finish it quicker and he could talk to me about it. It was a wonderful experience! As much as I love gadgets, I don't think I'll ever lay in bed and read on a Kindle - I'd much rather have the book in my hands. .-= Gladys´s last blog ..<a href="http://gsbusinessresources.wordpress.com/2009/08/21/time-is-on-my-mind/" rel="nofollow">Time Is On My Mind</a> =-.

It ranks right up there with writting a letter rather than sending an email. Thanks for stopping by. Me too Sarah! It ranks right up there with writting a letter rather than sending an email.

I love to read, and my kids are quickly picking up the habit (even though they're small still). Even though it might be changing, and we have more options than ever, the availability of so many "cheaper" ways of getting information just makes actual, hold-in-your-hand books that much dearer to me. .-= Sarah Bray´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sjoystudios.com/2009/08/17/when-to-re-design-your-websit/" rel="nofollow">How to know your site needs a re-design: The 5 rules</a> =-.
