He had offered to get it for me earlier, but it was so expensive, I was really hoping the price would come down again. Then a friend sent me a link to Oprah Winfrey's site. Oprah has enthusiatically endorsed the Kindle and until Saturday night, November 1, you can get $50 off (making the price $309) when you order with the special code listed on her site.
I can hardly wait for my Kindle to get here!
