Further Posting on E-Readers and a Christmas Carol

ok so I have personally touched a sony e-reader, the nook, and the kindle. so i am very excited about this technology. Comparing all three, I will not buy a Sony e-reader, now that does not mean it is not a good model. I just perfer something with more features and the option to download books directly to it, as opposed to having to use a computer to do it. Since right now I don't have my own computer that would be a problem. So I like having the option of doing more with it. The kindle and the Nook are basically the same. But i liked the nook better. it was slightly lighter and it has the color touch screen at the bottom. in all honesty. it does not really matter between the nook and the kindle. You will have to look at what the two offer and decide which features and how much space you want. I knew someone who had the kindle which is how i got a look at it. And you can go see the nook at any Barnes and Noble. They have working models at the customer service desk. So i just wanted to make a quick update on that. I will have a few books to review after the holiday. Have a fantastic holiday!!!

I also saw Disney's animated A Christmas Carol. I thought it was wonderful. I thought it was a strong retelling of the classic story, that has been remade hundreds of times. It is one of the creepiest versions i've seen, which i liked. It is a ghost story, but can sometimes be watered down. The characters are portrayed well. Jim Carrey did a fantastic job, which I was not suprised about. It was a wonderful version and I would highly recommend it. But I saw it in 3-d and don't think you need to spend the extra money on it. I do no thtink seeing it in 3-d improves anything or adds anything for this movie.

this week I am reading Red Hot Santa by Cheery Adair, Leanne Banks, Pamela Britton, and Kelsey Roberts

Happy Holidays!!!!!
