So there is sort of a transition going on for me right now, I’m not sure if it the really warm summer weather that is starting in Arizona, just a phase I am going through or something that is happening with the moon and stars but I have been itching for a change to my routine.
A few weeks ago I upgraded my husband from a Kindle (keyboard version) to a Kindle Fire. Now, in all honestly it was partially for selfish reasons.
You see, I have been downloarding PDF’s of books that I want to read onto my laptop but I never seem to be able to turn off all the distractions, on my laptop, to find the time to read them.
So, I thought, if I get him the Fire, he will love it, I can claim his old one and transfer the books to Kindle and I will actually close the laptop and read.
So guess what, I am happy to report my plan is working! A couple of days ago I spent about 1/2 hour transferring all the ‘books’ I have downloaded and have wanted to read and everyday I am spending at least 30 minutes actually reading them and I am feeling a little more balanced in my routine.
Although I am not reading real paper books, I am nourishing my body with information that it was getting anxious to absorb.
Here are a few of the books on my Kindle that are on the ‘First to read’ list (links to authors websites) :

I would love to hear your thoughts on the methods to my madness, lets’ talk below in the comments.
What to Post on Facebook?
I get asked all the time 'what should I post about on my Facebook business page?'. I created this quick reference guide to answer that question!
Eden, I bought my husband a new laptop knowing he would love it so much that he would always be on it meaning I could spend more time online too. And I love my kindle, it goes everywhere with me!!
Julia, sometimes a girl has to do what a girl has to do, 😉 !
I absolutely love my kindle and did the same thing when I first got it. The one wrinkle I encountered (and it may have been corrected with newer incarnations of the Kindle) was that the PDFs displayed at sizes that were a bit awkward on the Kindle and I had to keep scrolling back and forth.
Happy Reading!
Thanks for reminding me I’m not the only one, I really thought it was a bit nerdy when I did it but I am so glad to know I am not alone, lol.
Yes I agree that is a pain in the you know what with the Kindle and yep it still happens. One thing I am noticing though it that more people who create PDF’s are aware of this and the newer ones seem to have less pictures and those odd shaped paragraphs that really screwed things up. 😉
Hi Eden,
Finding knowledge and information from all the available sources is the best way to find our directions. Before I changed my life from a real estate investor to network marketer, I had to buy a whole lot of stuff to learn. I am really glad that I did and you are going to get all your energy from those PDFs.
Hi Annetta,
I agree with you, arming yourself with the right tools sure can give you a power boost in the right direction! Plus learning new things is always fun, well maybe not always the learning part but the conquering at the end is 😉
Your kindle must look a lot like mine. Chris Garrett always makes for good reading, great list and glad they’re helping you out 🙂
