Earlier this summer, I mentioned to my mom that I wanted a kindle or a nook (i.e. Christmas present!) I loved reading and am tired of having books I've read just lay around after I'm done with them. I thought an e-reader would be the answer to that.
Enter my dad..king of electronics. He loves buying electronics..tv's, speakers, headphones to be exact. I remember when I moved into my apartment my Junior year of college, I was going to take my small television from my bedroom at home.
Dad thought that wasn't good enough.
As we were setting up my apartment, in walks my dad with a huge new flat screen tv for us with the matching tv stand of course. Thanks dad!!
So a few weeks into summer, mom calls me on my cell. She and Dad were at Best Buy and she was asking me a series of questions about ipads (Dad may know his televisions but he is still quite computer illiterate.) Dad thought that since I mentioned it and it was the latest in technology, that I needed it. Mom helped a little bit by persuading him and saying I needed something to keep me occupied in the car while traveling.
I absolutely LOVE my ipad. It went with me all over the country this summer and I was able to download seasons of Sex and the City and watch them in order..LOVE IT!
It's a fabulous companion to have on the couch with me at night instead of my laptop too.
And today I downloaded my first book on it and am loving reading on here much more than a book. I'm already into chapter 2 (I hardly ever read more than a chapter a day) into my new book, Minishopaholic.
The best accessory to my ipad is my Bose noise reducing headphones (Dad is a HUGE fan of Bose). He got them because he thought I could wear them while working out..but they're a bit bulky for my style. HOWEVER, I don't know how I ever went on road trips or plane rides without them. My ears actually hurt after I turn them off. Best invention ever!!
