A friend from Hungary told us Kindles for the kids would be a good idea, as it might be tough to find kids books in English. I’ve been mulling it over, thinking about how to fit it in the budget, wondering if there are acceptable options that would cost less. At the same Amazon has been hard at work solving most of those issues for me. First they dropped the price significantly. That made it all a bit easier to swallow.

Today I see they have announced the Kindle Wi-Fi. It doesn’t come with wireless, weighs only 8.5 ounces and has a battery life from 3 weeks to a month. And it costs less than a DSi. Totally awesome.
