Kindle…. My Lover, My Friend

I purchased the 2nd generation Kindle as soon as it was released earlier this year, and since, I haven’t put the damn thing down.  I can’t go to bed without reading for at least 2 hours every night.  I love it because I don’t have to constantly adjust my reading position.  The only thing I have to worry about is not falling asleep while it’s propped up on my chest.  I’ve had it hit my face a couple of times and that was not very fun.

I just wish that Kindle had a wider selection of novels, especially translated novels.  Most of my favorite magical realism novelists write in Spanish.  I did a search for “Gabriel Garcia Marquez” on the Kindle site, and I was very disappointed that the only book available for the unit is his biography written by Gerald Martin.  Come on, Amazon!  Get those rights for the translated novels so I can download them on my sexy Kindle!  Lets show some customer service!  Lets show some hustle!
