I have been asked a couple questions, so thought I would answer here.
one thing that I really like about this ebook, is that it is not hard on my eyes. I spend 90% of every day at work looking at a computer and didn't want to do that all evening too. The Kindle isn't back lit so you do need to have light in the room to read, but it isn't hard on my eyes.
I like the idea of having a lot of books handy so I can read what I want when I want without having to carry a lot of books around with me.
I am having fun looking for free books, and there are a lot, because I am reading books that I wouldn't ordinarily read if I had to pay for them. Granted, that option would be available at a library, and I am not knocking libraries, but the closest one is 30+ miles away and I only get there once or twice a month if that.
there are also a lot of books that are available for a small fee too. often cheaper then the paper ones.
It is light, even with the cover/case so there are no heavy books to drop on your face if you fall asleep (been there, done that).
tatting for the cover is in the investigation phase so will have to wait to see what I come up with as there are lots of designs floating around in my brain. I don't know if Jane's Brain Cell #3 will need to come for a visit or not, we will see.
A place to show off my tatting, maybe some socks, other interests and a little about my life.

Hmmm what to do,,,,, what to do
My wonderful children gave me a Kindle for Christmas. Which is really cool, because it is the "New Generation" version and can handle PDF files as well as the .azw files.
that means.... I can load tatting patterns on it. Cool hunh!
I did buy a hard cover for it, plain black, and of course what do you do with a plain black cover, why cover it with tatting of course.
so, I was looking at table mat patterns, or tatted ground patterns, or old edging patterns, and hadn't really made up my mind, but I just got back from visiting Fox's blog and she had tatted one of the patterns I was seriously looking at. and in color which of course I would use.
I have some wonderful HDT, that has been waiting for a project, so I am going to use some of that as well. seems decadent to use that wonderful thread just for me, and to do some tatting just for me.
so, if anyone has a favorite pattern, or thoughts on a tatted Kindle cover, please leave a comment.
thanks in advance.
I'm using farmguy's computer, and the scanner is hooked up to my computer, so no pictures of anything tonight.
I did get day 6 of my TIAS done this evening and have 1 and a half rows of the top rows for the drawstring to do on the reticule. Then to use my Lacet to make the drawstrings. and a lining, but things are starting to look like they will be done soon.
