There’s an app called Calibre that lets you import anything into the Kindle. There are also addons (like Send to Kindle for Android) that let you turn any webpage into a Kindle article. Both free!

Another real must have for book/scrabble lovers everywhere, especially if you are sick of scrabble, is Bananagrams. I was skeptical at first but I totally love it now. Best game ever to play drunk too lol. I got it as a gift last year and was hooked! Also there are loads of those prints on upcycled dictionary pages on etsy.com. I am totally getting the Reading Notes- and yes I know I’m a geek

Shucks. As a librarian, I felt compelled to supply the subject for you. There’s plenty more where that came from. *Waggles eyebrows*

Ha! Omg! The Penguin Bookchase board game is by my dad I still get a thrill seeing it promoted anywhere, ESPECIALLY when it’s somewhere I love like Autostraddle! The website is http://www.artmeetsmatter.com/ – and although we don’t have any of the board game in stock, there’s a load of other things… if anyone’s interested I could rustle up a discount code for AS members! xx

Side note, I have an old school nook that I find way more awesome than a kindle and here’s why….

I originally got my nook when I was in school and reading lots of fun articles and documents, all of which were in PDF form. At least with the old kindle, it had to be in kindle format vs. with the nook, it can be in a variety of different formats. The man in the barnes and noble book store also said that apparently you couldn’t change the battery in the kindle whereas he claimed you could change the nook battery when it ran out. Also, I have a mac. I’m not sure how compatible the kindle is with the mac, but with the nook you just plug it in and it’s like an external harddrive…no installing software or any confusing or irritating mumbo jumbo.

End.

My ten year old self REALLY REALLY wants the library kit. I used to play library with my sisters all the time, we thought being a librarian would be the coolest thing ever.
