Welcome Kindles

Tim Challies writes on his blog, "Around the world some 120,000 new books are published each year. That adds up to ten thousand every month; over 300 each and every day. Americans buy over 4.5 million books every day, including many of these new titles. This adds up to over 1.5 billion books per year that are consumed within America. Yet even this totals only 35% of the books that are sold worldwide. While it might seem that television and the Internet are decreasing our love for reading, it is clear that books sell better today than at any other time in history."

I must admit that I have never really been a "book worm", but I am finding a growing appreciation for reading. The Kindle is very user friendly. I can search thousands of titles on Amazon (instead of jumping in my car and going to the Christian bookstore--which is impossible anyway) and with one click I can download a book to my Kindle in under a minute! I have been enjoying some leisurely reading and staying more in touch. We are so thankful for the Kindles that were given to us as gifts and we welcome them into our family.
