So, I have resisted the urge. Maybe later in life, I'll go with it. Now, downloading quilt books would be a good thing, especially if you can set up a search for a particular pattern or technique. I have seen articles on the net concerning the Kindle and downloading issues, in particular the limits on how many downloads you can do and to how many devices. Actually, the main issue is the lack of disclosure on what the limits are, so you can make an informed decision on buying a e-book. For those interested, query the net since I am sure the number of articles is increasing and new info is coming out daily. I was interested in the Kindle, but I have a great library system nearby.

I'm a gadget geek and it's hard for me to resist these things. Thanks to everyone's comments I succombed! I went with the Kindle 2 - the smaller size is more appealing to me for carrying around in my purse and for travel. Now, I can't wait for it to get here.

The problem is...we have such a good library system..and don't really HAVE to buy books. But then....I read a lot and it does appeal to me. Pat Hmm I have an interest in the Kindle.

It's a Babylock, but I had a Bernette for years, finally gave it to my daughter and it's a work horse still going strong! What to sew? What not to sew is the better question. Wonderful for sewing seams quickly, especially good for children's clothes. So maybe it depends on what kind of sewing you do. Probably not so good for quilting. I love mine.

I am trying to decide if I need(read "want") one. What would I use it for? Everyone I know has one and tells me that I will love it; but, I want a Kindle, too, and there is only so much money to go around. I have a chance at buying a used serger for $500.00 don't kow if that is a bargain or not. It has 5 threads and the man who repairs all my sewing machines is selling it and says it's the easiest thing to thread--it's a Viking.So, please tell me why I would want a serger.
