I don't have a kindle, either, but have down loaded books onto my computer. I also like 'free' books! What am I reading - don't laugh, but I just checked out three picture books by Jane Yolen.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-20615619388471514592012-04-30T22:21:01.217-04:002012-04-30T22:21:01.217-04:00Just go to Amazon Kindle and download their readin...Just go to Amazon Kindle and download their reading app free to your laptop.

Made me cry. Stirred up emotions. Love her writing. She writes everything--from politics to parenthood. Columnist in the NY Times and Newsweek. Author of six novels.

There's something about the feel and smell of a real book. BUT . . . . I love my Kindle! It's great for traveling and like you, I've found lots of books for free or 99 cents. I've also read one of the Granny Apple Series, but like The Grey Whale Inn Mysteries better–author is Karen MacInerney. I got the second in the series, "Dead and Berried," for 99 cents, then went to the library for the first, "Murder on the Rocks." Love the characters and stories.Elizabeth Vollstadthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392870109547345303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703409033829423952.post-75631886909152242912012-04-29T15:31:01.211-04:002012-04-29T15:31:01.211-04:00I enjoy different genres now, thanks to trying fre...I enjoy different genres now, thanks to trying free or cheap books on my Kindle.
