Hello and Bonjour
I'm thrilled to have discovered you all.
I've recently acquired a Kindle DX and I'm loving it. I love being able to carry lots of books with me so easily, (even a good French dictionary to help me during my French lessons) after all, on a long train journey I don't always want to have one book to read. Its nice to be able to skip through several. It was a bit annoying having to order from the US. while the smaller Kindle has been recently introduced to the UK ( not France) the Dx isn't there yet. I just wish I'd bothered to order and receive one while I was in the US for 6 weeks this summer! Along with Georgiegirl2012 I've decided to sell some of my books to help towards the cost and then, I could even sell some of my bookshelves as well! Anyway, at the moment, all my downloads have come from Amazon but I'm going to try other sites. Happy reading Margaret |

Good to have your company, Margaret. You're fortunate to be wherever you are in France. In my neck of the woods (Menton, sandwiched between Monaco and the Italian frontier) I literally can't give my paper books away. Hundreds are stacked in tea chests in my garage just begging for English-language readers to help themselves. Can't bear to just throw them away. Best wishes. Neil
