Dear Reader,
I’m a big fan of my Kindle Paperwhite. It’s not the top-of-the-line Kindle, but it has everything I need. The most important feature (for me) is that it is backlit, meaning I can read it in bright sunlight, and also in bed in the dark (without a reading light). This one feature has saved my marriage (or least my husband’s sleep!)
So, why bring this up today? Amazon is having a Valentine’s Day sale, and you can get a Kindle Paperwhite for $99 or the entry-level Kindle for only $59. Here’s the link. If you take advantage of the sale, let me know which model you chose!
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. Among the rights protected are freedom of speech, the right to bare arms, and protection from unreasonable search. Although originally opposed by pro-constitution Federalists, the Bill of Rights was ratified on December 15, 1791.

“The Bill of Rights draws influence and inspiration from the Magna Carta (1215), the English Bill of Rights (1689), and various later efforts in England and America to expand fundamental rights. George Mason’s Virginia Declaration of Rights formed the basis of the amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights.” Don’t miss the links to related topics at the bottom of the article under Learn More.
