Amazon Adds New Free Kindle Applications for Mobile Devices Computers

In a move that I think is long overdue, Amazon has added new functionality to their Kindle program. Amazon had added a new Kindle Store to their website, and with that new Kindle Store, you can also get FREE Kindle Reading Apps for all sorts of mobile electronic devices and stationary computers.

I have long thought that although the Kindle is a wonderful device to have, that many people would prefer to read their books on a bigger screen or on a device they already own. While I understand that Amazon would like to sell as many Kindles as possible, in today's economy, some people would rather just buy the downloads of the books, instead of a new electronic device. Not only that, but people use computers every day in their work or at home, and if they love the Kindle app on their computer, they are much more likely to buy a Kindle.

So here it is folks! You can now download the FREE Kindle Reading Apps today, try out a book on your new app, and check out what all the fuss is about. I know that since I am an avid reader, I will definitely be adding the FREE Kindle Reading Apps to my computer ASAP. And why not? Who knows if it will be free forever, and I would love to save paper as much as possible.

Dare we call this Eco-Chic Green Reading?

Getting Frustrated Looking for Green Gifts?

Sometimes it is hard to find green gifts at a reasonable price especially if you want to spend $25 or less. With the economy still being sluggish this year, $25 seems to be the magical price threshold that most people want to spend on family that they do not see very often or good friends.

I have been spending quite a bit of time lately exploring eBay's World of Good. It is a growing shopping mall for green gifts, and specialty items, and really fun to browse.

I recommend that you browse eBay's World of Good to see what they have to offer and bookmark some items for your friends and relatives. It is always good to know that you are contributing to the health and well being of your friends and family.

Here is one of my personal favorites this week:


Alex and Ani St. Christopher Bracelet
I think that I might have to get one of these for myself.

For my friends, this is a great gift:

Natural Handmade Balm for Dry Skin
