Christmas is approaching and if you are struggling what to ask santa for I can reccomend a Kindle, they are an E-book sold by Amazon. If you like to read this is ideal.
Its about the size of a standard paperback , and about the same thickness as an I pod. It can hold 3,500 books. It takes less than a minute to download a book and if you get the 3g version you can do from anywhere in the world you get a mobile sphone signal. Loads of free books to download including all the classics, basically anything that is out of copyright is free, No need to take a suitcase full of books on holiday. If you switch off the 3g/WiFi when not downloading the charge will last around a month. I got Queen Amadala one for her birtday last month , she loves it
