Default Using a Kindle? Anyone got one?

I'm buying the wife one for Christmas, but would like to know about putting books etc on it.

Is there any way the kids can buy her like book-tokens so she can choose her own?

TIA.

You can in fact use any Amazon voucher, doesn't need to be eBook vouchers.

If someone asks me what I want for birthday/Xmas etc. I always say "Amazon voucher". I then top my account up with them and just buy books when I like.

or newsgroups. Hard back version of book £25. Paperback not published until next April. Kindle version £12.50. Newsgroup version.........well. Problem is you can sync these titles to your Amazon Kindle account.

My wife is an avid reader, sometimes reading 3 books at once The house is swimming in old books. She has just seen a kindle and quite like the look of it. But she also liked her old HTC desire hd for games, phone function.

So to combine both, I will be looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note, large screen nearly the same as a kindle Amazon app for books, games, phone and obviously Android

My Mrs would drown in technology with that thing.....she's not good at texts as it is, and I have to charge her phone for her.
