New Lower Price Kindle

There is now a lower priced Amazon Kindle at $299.  Now that's what I'm talking about.  Although it has a 6" screen, 2 GB HD (1.4 available for user content) and you can see what else it has...

Kindle: Amazon's 6" Wireless Reading Device (Latest Generation)

It's not as big as the latest Kindle and it doesn't have an SD slot, it's not in color and it isn't touchscreen.  But the good news is that it's coming down in price.  Maybe they are seeing that people just aren't buying the Kindle because of the gigantic cost.  I mean, $300 is still a lot of money but not compared to $489 for the Kindle DX.

If I bought a Kindle for $299 then I bet you anything in about a year they will have a better one for $199 then a year later a better one for $99.  Well, I don't know if they will drop that dramatically but I think I'm going to wait for them to come down a bit more before I take that leap.

I would love to buy a bigger screen one for Chip for the newspaper but unfortunately our local paper is not available for the Kindle.  They are digital but with another company so hopefully when the Kindle goes down in price then our paper will see that it's getting popular or they are getting a lot of requests then they will finally add their paper to the Kindle.

Tinkerbell Woodburn

A few years ago I was looking at my sisters MySpace page and she has a Tinkerbell obsession from what I could tell lol.  Over the years I've been wanting to do something nice for her that is Tinkerbell related but I could never afford to until now.  Although, I didn't really "buy" her anything as much as I made her something...



I made her this thing that she can hang on her wall hehe.  I'm not sure if she will want to hang it but I will put one of those picture hanging metal things on the back with those brads so she can just put a nail in the wall then rest it on the nail.  Although she might not want to hang it, maybe she might want to use it as a paperweight who knows lol.  Whatever she does with it is out of my hands once she gets it hehe.

I just love her so much, she has helped me when I was a teenager and in my early 20's by giving me a roof over my head and she's just always been there for me and I want her to know I appreciate her.
