What is this Kindle that I keep hearing about? This was my question before looking into formatting my novel, Twisted Christians, for this device. The more I read about it, the more I want one myself. If you go to Amazon's website, you'll see this contraption on their homepage. I've finally taken the time to click on the picture of the Kindle and I'm really amazed at the description of this product!
