Kindle Mania

We purchased a KOBO eReader for our grand daughter for Christmas and helped one of our girls buy and set up a Kindle before we headed south for the winter.  Although we were aware of eReaders before then, this was our first really solid look at these things.  As a result, we thought we would integrate eReaders into our Computer classes and wow what a great reaction!

This is the first year we have done a class on eReaders and based on the number of Kindles that have been purchased since that first class it is also the most popular.

So, today we have another class to help those folks who purchased Kindles in the last week.  The Kindle is pretty easy to use but people have to deal with wireless connections, signing up with Amazon and how to get free books. 

It's not only Kindles though, purchases in the last two weeks (no class last week because of St Patrick's Day) have included at lease 2 iPad 2's, 1 Sony Reader, an Android Tablet and at least one KOBO.  Not only have they purchased these things for themselves many of those who made a purchase also ordered them for remote family members one as far away as Alaska.

I think today's class will be challenging.  I expect to even get questions I won't be able to answer.
