Kindle!

I am SO excited that the Kindle is now available in Canada (you said it would never happen) WooHoo!! Check it out on Amazon.com -- You can't get it yet on Amazon.ca -- but now you can order it from the US and now you can load it up here too! I am definitely getting one after Christmas! It comes to about $311. 00 US (including shipping and customs fees) and each book is about 5.99-11.99 US

Why am I so excited? I tried Maija's and It ROCKS! It's not like reading a computer screen -- no glare, and the background is an adjustable grey -- not stark white-- and you can read it outside. I can carry it on the subway, and when I travel.
