These post is truly an example that you cannot learn everything inside a classroom. That the true teacher in life is the real world- the outside world. Thanks for sharing!

Love it! I am trying to train my husband to read on my Kindle. I'm telling him it is that so he has something to read when we travel but really it's so he can take my old one and I can get a new one. It's the love of my life :-)

Yes, we were slow to convert over, but now they're a 'must have'. So convenient for travelers especially.
