Amazon Kindle and unwanted christmas presents

For some reason this year I decided to put the Kindle on my Amazon wish list. I thought it would be so much fun to be able to carry around hundreds of books for my reading pleasure.( Because with a two year old I have sooooooo much time to sit around and read) I never thought anyone would actually buy it for me anyway. Lo and behold I received it from my dad and his wife on Christmas. So what to do? I have no money to load the thing up with books and actually I just buy the books and put them on my computer anyway. Plus what of my dream of someday having shelves and shelves of books that I have read and purchased and love to reread. How would I have that, if I have a Kindle and all my books are really just ones and zeros? SO I decided to sell it. I got the same amount for it that it sold for online and I was able to use the money to pay off my library fine so I can read real books for free (god bless America lol) and I used the remainder to buy some necessary things around the house and to have some fun with my hair that I had not been able to afford to indulge in. So far I don’t regret my decision. But I have definitely learned not to put something on my wish list that I didn’t fully think out.  Now If only someone would buy me that digital camera I have been wanting for years ; )
