I love Kate Grenville. When The Idea of Perfection won the Orange I bought a copies for my boss and several of my friends. It was so nostalgic for me — like it was written about the town I grew up in, and at the same time talking about issues of heritage conservation that concerned us at work.
I’d like a Kindle, but Simon doesn’t approve of the fact that you don’t own the books.

I’ve downloaded The Idea of Perfection, which I haven’t read. It’s a pity Simon doesn’t like the fact that you don’t own the books. But he can own his!
I love my Kindle too. They’re a fabulous invention and I don’t miss printed books one little bit. It’s time to move on …

My Kindle Paperwhite is arriving in the mail any day now (finally!!). We ordered it mid-December. My husband and I are going to share it because there isn’t much choice in the way of French books (or they are more expensive than paperback) so it’s going to be mostly for English books. I think I will end up using it the most. If I do hog it too much then I guess we’ll buy another one for him. I can’t wait to use it! I find it uncomfortable holding up a book in bed and now that I’m having trouble sleeping again, I’d like to be able to read myself back to sleep without disturbing my husband. The Paperwhite has a backlight so that should be great! And I am looking forward to being able to set the font size to something more readable than some of the paperbacks I’ve read recently.
