The best thing about my new Kindle -- I now have the convenience of having a computer on-the-go, away from home. I am on my way back to Europe in a few short weeks and decided that the Kindle was the way to go. I got it mainly for reading, although I plan to blog, facebook, pinterest and skype to keep in touch with family and friends a little better. I won't be packing any bulky books in my suitcase like I did last time. I can access hundreds of books from my skinny little Kindle! And I'm so lovin' the bright lime green case. I'll look so tech-know in Europe!
There is a downside. It's a challenge. Why?
I've never been tech savvy.
Never had an i-phone or any thing like that, for that matter.

This is my first experience with a hand-held computer (sad).
I was born in the 50's and, yes, I know that is not a good excuse!

The other day I had to call my daughter to see how to turn it on. I don't know why I couldn't find the power button. Ok. I pushed in the button on top and it came on. So I thought I was good. Well, the dreaded lock showed up. I tapped on it. Nothing. I tapped again. Nothing. It refused to unlock. So, I had to call her back to find out how to get into the Kindle. Ok. I had to slide it with my finger, NOT tap on it. Good grief! Ok. So, I slid it with my finger and got in (even my 17 month old granddaughter knows how to do that!). So embarrassing. It went straight to my Gospel Library that she installed for me. I looked for a minute. That was enough! I'll take my time. Do one thing at a time. Tech stuff stresses me out, but I will do it! And after I do it for awhile, I'm sure I'll wonder why I felt so challenged!
For now, I'll take a deep breath, turn the power button on, slide to unlock, and look around.

Ok! I can do this.
