And then my mom got a Kindle. And then my sisters. And several of my brothers. Taneal got one for Chrsitmas last year. And we are all on the same account so we all share the same books. That is why I have over 200 books on my Kindle.
One of the things that is pretty cool too about the Kindle is the ability to change the font size. Spencer is an early reader and still figuring things out. When we read scriptures as a family, he can read well enough to take a turn. But he gets lost very easily on the page, even when using a book mark to follow along as he reads out loud Not to mention when he gets bumped by Nathan or Gavin fighting to be on my lap while I am trying to help Spencer follow along with his bookmark. It was frustrating! Then I realized that I should just let him use my Kindle each morning and change the font size to super big and then he no longer had the need to use a paper to keep his spot on the page. He has been using my Kindle for the last month and it is wonderful. Just completely took the frustration out of scripture reading as a family.
There are lots of other great features of the Kindle such as no back light so that it is as easy on the eyes as a regular book. But I won't go into those. Today I am thankful for the Kindle that eliminated much of the stress I was having with helping an early reader to read the scriptures.
