The Kindle Challenge

I have seen a lot of ads for a Kindle and it looks like something I might enjoy. After all I do read quite a bit. Also several people have recommended them and said how much they enjoy them.

I do have a few concerns. Firstly while I read a lot, I hardly ever BUY books. I exchange them, I check them out, and only rarely do I actually buy them. So will I have a Kindle I never use because I'm too cheap to buy books?

So in order to justify this purchase I am going to "buy" one without spending any money out of pocket.

How? Well I am going to use my saved up "swagbuck" gift cards. I have $50 from them right now. I have another $10 from filling out surveys. I also have $25 from my credit card usage while my debit card is being replaced. (honestly Honey, I didn't loose it on purpose!). So right now I have $85 saved. I just need another $174. I wonder how long it will take.

In case you haven't signed up for Swagbucks yet, I highly urge you to do so. It is just silly not to since you get free stuff. Plus if you do it through the link on this blog I'll also benefit and I would really like that.
