30 Days of Kindle Meme: Day One

[desertvixen]

Day 01 - Tell us about your Kindle and how you use it.  Is it your primary way to read, or something you use when you have to travel away from your paper ones?  Is everything neatly organized or just loaded onto the Kindle?  Tell us about your buying habits too - do you check the Daily Deal every day?  Or is everything on your Kindle free?

My Kindle was a 2010 Christmas gift from my dad, and currently occupies the spot allotted to Best Christmas Gift as an Adult Ever.  I have the one that still has the keyboard and 3G.  It is only used for reading (other electronic ways to kill time are generally on the smartphone) and even when I replace it, I'm not going for a fancy model. 

I would say books are still primary, if only because I have so many more of them, and I just like the feel of the book in my hands, plus there is not a used Kindle title store or KindleTitleSwap.com.  However, it is convenient to be able to just stash the Kindle in my purse and go.  Plus, when it comes to college classes, the Kindle is not good.

I do have things organized into a variety of collections, including one called "curiosities" which is essentially where I put books I am going to read, just not right this second.  Some things that I do intend to read more quickly are in the Main Menu area. 

I've downloaded a lot of pre-1928 free stuff from Amazon, but I also love the Daily Deal idea.  I probably buy about five of those a month.  I'm a bigger fan of the 100 titles less than $3.99 that they run each month, but I don't like how they have it organized now.  This month, out of 100 titles, I found 2 that intrigued me enough to buy them.
