I’m not one for new gadgets. I don’t upgrade or exchange for the latest. If it works, that’s good enough for me. I have the original iPhone from four years ago. It still works great and I still love it.
I’ve seen the Kindle and Sony Readers and thought they were really cool. I love the idea of downloading books, but really can’t justify the expense. Plus, I don’t think I could keep up with anything else in my already-heavy purse.
The other day while on a quick overnight trip, I got out of the house without a good book to read. So, I downloaded the Amazon Kindle Reader for FREE money from www.Amazon.com. There are quite a few free book choices too as well as discounted best-sellers and new books. There’s a Kindle app for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, WindowsPC, Blackberry, and an Android app is coming soon.
I’ve already read two books on it! I love it’s easy-to-use features and I always have a book with me now. It works for me!
I have had my iPhone for a year and never tried this app. So silly of me! Thanks for the frugal tip, I am going to try it- finally. 🙂
I’m not a reader but definitely like the idea of saving a couple hundred!!! Way to go! Thanks for hosting:)
I LOVE that app! It’s the best! Plus, you can buy your books using amazon gift cards from swagbucks!
How cool! I don’t have any of those phones yet, but I know plenty of people that do. I’ll have to let them know. 😀
Thank you for hosting!! 😀

I had no idea. Going to download that now!!
Oh man. One more reason I need an iPhone.
Well, I guess I should say, one more reason why I want an iPhone, but probably one more reason my family doesn’t want me to have one. I’d have my nose in the thing constantly. LOL!
I’ll tell the hubs, if he doesn’t already have it. He’s way more tech savvy than me. Thanks for hosting again.
I LOVE the Kindle app on my iPod touch!! Isn’t it great? I’ve downloaded 30+ books to it…and I was NEVER interested in an e-reader before I tried it! I even wrote a WFMW post about it last fall: http://homewithpurpose.blogspot.com/2009/10/kindle-for-iphoneso-handy.html
Oh well, I have a droid.. which I do love though! I guess I will just stick to the actual paper books until I can justify a Kindle! I love the idea of one, just not sure about the price!
Thanks so much for hosting!
Don’t worry, it’s coming out for droid soon. They are listed as “Android App Coming Soon” so with all this droid talk and new phones they have released, I am sure it won’t take too much longer!
AND….in the Religious Fiction category they have several FREE downloads of current books. Every week or so they change the FULL length novel that is downloadable for FREE.
Oh, and did I mention it is FREE? ‘Cause if I didn’t I should have.
Free!
I use it on my PC and like it 🙂
Kindles do intrigue me but I just think I would miss the feel of paper when I curl up on the couch.
Oh my HEAVENS!!! Thank you so much for the Kindle tip! I will be watching for the Android app!
Also, I wanted to ask you…I could NOT get your WFMW button to upload onto my post. Now, I am completely CLUELESS about HTML code…but I copied and pasted away–and the button would not show up (like the others did). Is there something simple I am doing wrong?
I loaded the Kindle App on my laptop and love it! I’ve downloaded a lot of great FREE books! Now if only I had more time to read… 🙂 Thanks for hosting!
I just recently downloaded YouVersion on my Iphone and I love it. I have not even thought about downloading the Kindle App. I will have to check that out! Thank you for hosting!
Blessings!
I am way behind the times I don’t have an iphone. I am planning on getting one but now I want to wait till the new one comes out. It is exciting that you can download the kindle app to it. I will for sure be doing that! Amazon has love comes softly for free right now and you can download it for use with kindle. That would be great.
I still live *way* back in the dark ages: I don’t even own a cell phone! If I were to get a cell phone though, it would definitely be an iPhone.
Thanks for hosting!
Do you know if there will be apps for all smart phones, or just the ones that you listed? That is awesome that you have already read two books that way! 🙂
My husband has the sony reader. He just had to have it, so he got it for Christmas. He doesn’t use it too much, but did read it on the beach on our vacation and was very pleased.
Thanks for the great meme.
I have this app on my blackberry. I love having a book with me at all times and not have to worry about lugging a heavy physical book around. I have over a 150 books in my kindle library and I have only bought one of them.
I have both a Kindle and an iTouch, and I actually read more books on my iTouch with the Kindle app than I do with my Kindle, because I always have the touch with me. Love it!
I already have this on my iPhone and have enjoyed using it when I’m in a place where I don’t have a book. I, like Jana, love being able to curl up on the couch with a book and turn the pages. The thing I really like about Kindle for my iPhone is I can get FREE books from time to time. I’ve been able to get free Christian books that I’ve been wanting to read and I love it!
Thanks for hosting another great party! Rory
So agree with you on enough junk in my bag…lol And I hang on to my electronics forever…probably longer than I should…but I just don’t have the time/patience to keep up with the industry. Haven’t tried a kindle as yet and don’t have an iphone so I’ll be waiting for the next invention…lol Have a great week, fondly, Roberta
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different website and thought I should check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to finding out about your web page again.
