OMG it was not pretty… so puppy woke me up whining about 3 times this morning and after not sleeping well I decided to get up at 11 am which is kinda early for ME. Figure Kindle is coming soon and check tracking on it and it is out for delivery. So I wait.. and wait and wait and 3 different Fed Ex trucks pull into my complex, but the Kindle is coming UPS.
So finally at 3:45 I have to breakdown and head to work I am only about 10 minutes away so I get to work and tell one of the guys I work with that I am expecting a package and will have to cut out for about 20 minutes to pick it up when it is delivered. So I keep tracking it. About 5 pm I call the leasing office to see what time they close (UPS will deliver there) they tell me 6pm. So I am getting more and more nervous that I will have to wait another day and after paying extra for one day shipping.
FINALLY at 5:45pm my Kindle is delivered so I call the office and say I am on the way might be a few minutes late cause of traffic and the nice lady in the office says I have an appointment and have to leave at 6 so if you don’t make it you will have to pick it up tomorrow. So I hop in the car and of course hit EVERY freaking light, get behind 3 different assholes and get to the door at like 6pm on the dot.
I grab the door knob and it is locked. I look in to see the woman at her desk and Thank the Good Lord she came and opened the door cause I was all set to walk through the glass door and wring her neck if she did not let me in.
So I have my new Kindle and my first impressions are MOSTLY good here is a short list of good and bad.
Bad
1. The Kindle 2 although thinner is about a half inch longer. Not horrible, but I like the small size
2. The screen is a bit smaller.. maybe 1/4 inch on each side, but still a bit smaller.
3. Did not come with a case so I had to buy one… Price drop??? Not really one one came with the case.
4. USB cable is a different size than the old one.
Good
1. A bit Thinner than the old Kindle
2. Better resolution on the screen.
3. Like that the page turn buttons don’t take up the whole side of the unit. People would pick it up and accidentally change the pages
4. Wireless is now 3G so downloads are a bit faster.
5. Was easy to get all my Amazon books on the new Kindle.
6. PDF’s do not have to be converted anymore I can drag them right on the Kindle.
7. Text to speech – Don’t think I will use it and sounds a bit strange, but nice feature for some.
So everyone be happy you do not need to bail me out for killing the nice Lady in the leasing office or the UPS guy.
Woo hoo! Glad you have it in hand
Sooo glad I didn’t have to come down there to bail you out, when I come to visit I would like to avoid the police station to actually see you!!! Glad you finally it and you can now enjoy reading once again! I think I am going to get one, but still trying to make my final decision.
We could have just buried the body Ter! Glad you got yesterday i know how much it would have sucked not having it. it killed me waiting for mine and I had NEVER used mine yet. I would lose my ever loving mind with out it now. So I feel ya glad you got it in time. Cause really I dont like getting dirty…but Id bether for you!
I’m glad too that you didn’t have to be bailed out, but I’m thinking a road trip could have been fun! lol.
Enjoy your reading!!
I too, am still debating which to purchase. I’m planning a trip to the states, hopefully before March, and might just check out the stores down there to compare them with my prices. ***If I can wait that long, lol***
Thanks Ladies and Krista and Lynda .. GET one you will LOVE it.
You’re making me jealous, I want one
Well thank goodness there were no fatalities. Imagine if the police had been called to pull you off the office lady’s carcass, and then they’d tried to take the Kindle away to cuff you. You might have gone fully Hulk-green, and I don’t think that would go with your coloration at ALL.
LMAO… that could have been NASTY !
Ohhh girl I would not have wanted to be between you and your gettin your kindle.. lol
Glad you got it.. have fun.. Enjoy your new toy.
Woooooommmmmmaaaaaaan!!!! I am alive. I am going to email you and give you my new phone number. I misssssss ya! Like oodles and gobs and everyone over at the DC’s place. Major hugs. Oh, and btw? I’m still F*cking Matt Damon–Just sayin’
OMG she lives !!!
