So I didn't realize "The Thief" was actually a children's book and spent 15 minutes searching through YA before I finally learned the truth and had the super-fun experience of crawling around on my hands and knees while trying to find it in the shelves. Note to self, get Thief series on Kindle next time. I wanted to pick up "The Broken Kingdoms,"

I have always wondered about kindles :|a

[nayami]

What would you like to know?

How do they work? I mean, like how do you turn pages & get books on them?

[nayami]

Turning pages is easy. The Amazon one features backward and forward buttons on either side of it. This makes it great for reading while lying down.

You get books by either buying them from the Kindle store or e-mailing them to your Kindle account if you get them from somewhere else or someone sends them to you. If you use the Kindle store, you can link it to your Amazon account so transactions are fast. Everything downloads on the home page and then you just select the book.

Wow, that's really neat. What kind of uhh files( not sure if this is the word I'm looking for ) do Kindles take?

[nayami]

It can convert almost anything if you put that in the subject of the e-mail. BUT it hates anything using Adobe Digital Reader, which, unfortunately, is what all the digital libraries use.

I think I will save up some money for this :|a

It is a shiny of shinyness. You can get a good one for under $200. You probably don't need the more expensive 4G one.
