Through the end of the day you can get thousands of Kindle ebooks for under $2.99! Head over to Amazon for their Sunshine Deals to get thousands of Kindle books for .99 - $2.99.  The selection is huge and varies from classics like Kurt Vonnegut and Sherlock Holmes to current bestsellers. There's nonfiction and even popular kids' books! Heck, if you look for it, you might even find a Kindle book written by yours truly--just not part of the Sunshine Deals.  I never expected to love digital books and e-readers, as I have had a lifelong love affair with paper books. I love the feel and the smell of them. But over the past year I've come to find that I love my Kindle and Nook apps on my iPad/iPhone even more! I have a wide selection of books with me at any time, I don't need any light so reading in bed doesn't bother my husband, and I often find that books are cheaper in e-reader format than they are from the store! Now you can even check out books from the library in your e-reader. Even more, my kids love having books on the Kindle reader as well. Both my kids love to read and they love having dozens of books at their fingertips, whatever their given mood is.  The best part about e-readers and the Kindle is that the software is free and you don't need a special device to use them. Of course, they have apps for smartphones and tablets. But they also have free software for your laptop/desktop as well.
