Exit, Reading

On November 30, 2007, shortly after Amazon announced the release of the first Kindle, I began writing The Kindle Reader blog. Since then I have updated it on a regular basis - no vacations, no time off. I hope that during that time regular readers have found at least one or two books they've enjoyed mightily - books that have even changed their lives for the better.

Now it is time for me to move on to new life adventures and maybe even take time to read more of the books I have on my personal reading list. To those Kindle readers who have accompanied me on this reading adventure and to those who have taken the time to write with praise for this blog, my most humble thanks.

The Kindle Reader, with five years of accumulated posts, will remain available to readers for the indefinite future. And (who knows?) after a short vacation I may find that time off is not all it's cracked up to be.

Thank you so very much for all the work you put into the blog. I did find several books that I then purchased. I have only been reading your blog for about a year but I certainly did enjoy it. You do deserve a vacation. Thank you again.

Sad to see you go. I enjoyed your blog very much, but I totally understand. I have been writing one of my blogs for 12 years now, but not daily. Of course, being retired now makes it easier to write on a regular basis. But a simple word of advice, if I may...stay productive!

Enjoy your time off and thanks for the fish!

I'll miss your beautifully presented thoughtful postings, Jan, but have had fantasies of doing the same as I want time for other hobbies. Just mentioned this to a friend today.

Maybe drop in here and say what you're reading or have been enjoying.

Thanks so much for your great work and your generosity.

My comment runs along the lines of a disembodied "Noooooooooooooo" that ends on a long howl of displeasure, but I understand. Maybe you'll decide to come back after a break. A woman can hope, right?

You have alerted me to dozens of good books. Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I'm getting some much-needed rest, but already I miss the stimulation of keeping up with what's new and interesting for Kindle readers so I can't guarantee I won't be back.

Rats, I just found your blog! Glad you'll be keeping it avaialable as the blog links alone look very helpful. I've also shared it with my "Kindle Friends" group on Facebook.
