Kindle, Goodreads and not getting any work done…

I am so excited, I have a Kindle on the way! Or being shipped shortly anyway.  I ordered the 3G + Wifi model, I am not sure I really need the 3G but thought if I ever wanted to sell it that the 3G would make it more desirable.  I am not sure why Amazon takes a few days to ship these out unless this is just because I chose Super saver shipping.  Anyhow, I have to WAIT but in the meantime I have been spending way too much time online looking for FREE books and checking out websites dedicated to the e-book.  Do YOU have a Kindle?  If so, feel free to share your tips and hints and favorite websites related to the Kindle.  I would love to see them.  Below I will post what I have discovered so far.

I hope to hear from you all soon!  Also, has this model of Kindle done anything surprising for you?  My niece said she could get on Facebook with hers.  Has anyone gotten onto Etsy with theirs?  That could come in handy to check my shop away from home since I don’t have a smart phone or 3G/4G laptop.

I just got one for Christmas and LOVE it!! There is actually a free bookstore right on it when you get it :) I have read to purchased books and now I am reading a free one. I figure if I read a free one every third book or even every other book it will save me money. Also, there is a great Etsy shop called Rogue Theory that sells Kindle covers- I got one and love it :)

Thanks for the Etsy shop name, I had been planning on getting a cover on Etsy anyway. I will check them out.
