Tonight, the Kindle arrived.

Just before I left to attend the last session of the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class our church hosted, the UPS driver delivered the box. I pulled the tab to open it as I rode in my friend's  van.

As the buyer reviews on Amazon warned, it's a slippery-cased machine. I've ordered a zippered "jacket" to make it easier to hold. Typing on the tiny buttons to search for titles to download needed a bit more patience than usual, but in general it works well. I've downloaded several books, including the newly-released Rooms, by Jim Rubart.
