I love my Kindle and bought it at Christmas for myself at Christmas. My laptop was not connecting to the WIFI at school and it was far cheaper than a new laptop. But at almost $200, that is a lot of money for many people, me included.
With my Kindle, I have more cookbooks than I would have had or been able to have using traditional books. Do not get me wrong, I would love to have many different cookbooks. But with the Internet and e-readers, there is no reason to have them unless they are really good, personal, or signed by the author. Besides the cookbooks that I have downloaded, I also have a handful of apps to use for recipes which I may look for.
How do you use your Kindle as a tool for work-study or simply just to read?
I Was talking with a friend last week and they said they were afraid to use their Kindle in the Kitchen, and I found this suggestion in a book I got:
"Using your kindle in the kitchen while cooking is a recipe for disaster (in my household anyway). I now pop it into a clear zip lock bag or protect it with cellophane, having learned my lesson with boiling sugar dripping onto my first kindle. Let's just say the sugar won that one."
