I love the feel of a paperback book as much as the next person; I spent most of my childhood and early teenage years devouring historical epics, romances, and Agatha Christie mysteries. Unfortunately, I've found pages and binding to be less than convenient during days on the go, on the beach, or even in the car. I usually make it through books quite quickly, so when I'm traveling I have to carry at least half a dozen books around with me. While it took me a while to warm up to the idea of eBooks, there's no denying that they are the most convenient sort of device for a busy literature lover!

Since no one is more busy than mom, we've decided to celebrate with a gift that can be as versatile and busy as she is. Beginning at 12:01 AM, May 1, a group of us bloggers will be giving away a FREE Kindle! All you have to do is drop by The Educated Beauty (or another participating site) to enter. Each day gives you a chance at more entries, so the more you visit us, the more you can win! Why not check out all the features at https://kindle.amazon.com/ to get yourself pumped up?
