O...Just found your site three mins ago.I love peas. Our season for peas is in feb. Florida heat. <br /><br />And I own a Kindle. Got it for my birthday in June 2009 for my birthday. I can read a book a day or a book in two days or four books in a week, usually. I spend so much LESS on books now. LOTS of free books on kindle. LOTS. LOts of books you can download for free.<br /><br />Most all newer books are at $9.99. But the older ones that are five years old or more and authors want to try to bring in new readers will give one away free, or put it out for 1.99. So I can spend 10 bucks on up to five new books. I love it. I hope you will too.Girl Schmuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220013488567162354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-80191821864921231112010-04-08T14:07:26.171-04:002010-04-08T14:07:26.171-04:00I like pea pods, but not peas alone.

If I plan to re-read a book, I buy it, but mostly, I check out books from the library.My house is over stocked with books and I'm a miser so I won't buy e-books for now therefore I don't need an e-reader.R.

My daffodils have multiplied over the years and I now have hundreds - plenty for vases all over the house AND keeping the garden looking festive.<br /><br />Jen - Peas should be showing up from your CSA, no?<br /><br />Blissed - Peas and daffodils look pretty sharing the same table. ;-)<br /><br />Nancy - I thought of the iPad but I don't need another computer (no matter how small) I just want an e-reader. I think e-Books are here to stay AND a Kindle can download books at Barnes and Noble (although they don't like to tell you that). Mmm... I love mushrooms. Morels are showing up right now at the farmer's market too!The Good Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249986191289837440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-74364090113020856952010-04-08T03:46:25.490-04:002010-04-08T03:46:25.490-04:00My husband loves his Kindle.

But I'm not sure about giving up the paper books - they are so much a part of me. I love the smell, the feel, the security of knowing they are always there. What if the people of Amazon (who I am currently mad at for doubling my order of things - three times!), decides to just erase all the e-books? :-) I know for a fact they are not always on the ball.<br /><br />Love spring peas - especially with rice and mushrooms.

I love it. I'm an avid reader and knitter so it serves both purposes in being able to read books and knitting patterns on it. Living in a NYC apartment can get cramped and this has been a great space saver. I also love being able to download a book at 3 am if need be. If you're interested, there are forums on Amazon specifically for Kindle users. You may get some good information there too.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422003160953121607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-29950233209859330612010-04-07T16:20:40.245-04:002010-04-07T16:20:40.245-04:00Buffalo - oh I love the sugar snap peas too and th...Buffalo - oh I love the sugar snap peas too and they are so easy to grow! <br /><br />Whitney - I KNOW what you mean about the feel of a book in your hands, the weight, the smell, the anticipation of turning the pages.. but also the thought of carrying around 1,500 books and to be able to read them anytime, anywhere... it is a dizzying thought.The Good Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249986191289837440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-90904909268900462762010-04-07T16:14:32.938-04:002010-04-07T16:14:32.938-04:00oh, yummy!

As fo...oh, yummy! I'll definitely try this! <br /><br />As for the Kindle or Nook. I don't know anyone who has tried the nook but I've heard great things about the kindle. I don't have either as I'm reluctant to spend the money up front. Which is rather stupid as I have hundreds of books and I'm a BIG re-reader. Which seems like it would make perfect sense for me to get one of these. I have to say that I love the feel of a book in my hands, turning the pages, even the smell. Let us know what you decide; I could certainly use the info!Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071135032060260965.post-39120875008368398122010-04-07T13:19:59.077-04:002010-04-07T13:19:59.077-04:00I have tried, but cannot get into peas...I like th...I have tried, but cannot get into peas...I like the pods better!buffalodickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663035745368682736noreply@blogger.com
