Got ebooks?
Today is the release of the highly-anticipated Amazon Kindle 3. 
(Anticipated by whom, you ask? Well, by me, for one. When my husband decided to order one for my birthday, he discovered that the Kindle 2 was all done and the Kindle 3 would be released at the end of August.)
I'm hoping for a visit from the UPS guy soon, and in anticipation, I've been queuing up free ebooks from Amazon's site for weeks. In addition, there are a couple of ebooks that I plan to purchase just as soon as I get that Kindle out of the box, charged, and ready to use.
My husband is all for the use of ebooks around here, since he thinks I have too many books. I beg to differ--you can never have too many books! In his estimation, if I purchase my books in electronic format, there will be fewer books "cluttering up" the house.
I've got to wonder, though. Studies have shown that children who grow up in houses that have several hundred books (mine certainly qualifies) do better in school than their bookless peers. Part of that, I'm sure, is that these children have grown up seeing their parents read, and more than that, enjoy reading. Will I be setting the same example for my younger son if I'm using something that looks more like a video game than a standard book? Either way, I'll still be reading!
