Ah, I love my Kindle & I like Google Books again

As if you've not heard enough about my Kindle and how much I love it.... I was looking at Google Books today and feeling so sad that they don't offer books for Kindle when I realized: I can use Calibre to convert the books to work with my Kindle

Yippie!

So I was looking at Living Books Curriculum today for Science book possibilities and came across The Story Book of Science by Jean Henri Fabre. We had started to read Life of the Spider by Fabre and thought it was interesting, we aren't fans of spiders (and there was an account we didn't like) so we stopped reading it. I had originally found Life of the Spider on Gutenberg.org and thought I would find Fabre's other book there as well but alas, no. It wasn't that big of a deal because there are many places to find books for free (especially ones printed before 1923).

That of course is what took me to Google Books and the dilemma that I could not download the book to my Kindle. Of course I do have the Nook, Sony Reader, Mobi Reader and Kindle for PC but I don't like to read on the computer unless I have to. 

In this case, I don't have to :)

And do you see the pretty skin I got for my Kindle? Yes, I'm a happy reader :)
