Amazon.com reports that the third generation Kindle is their bestselling product of all time, even beating out Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, book seven of the series.  It’s quite a feat for Amazon to have the new Kindle as their bestselling product in Amazon history.  In fact, customers ordered 13.7 million items worldwide on November 29, 2010.  That translates to a record-breaking 158 items per minute.  And that means big bucks for Amazon.

Why do customers like the Kindle?  Readers seem to enjoy the unlimited access of the Amazon library.  They also like the e-ink which is easy on the eyes and can be read in sunlight, especially important for the beach.  Most important of all, the Kindle is affordable.  At only $139, it’s a great gift … affordable enough for a Valentine’s Day splurge for your honey or for mom’s upcoming birthday.

Ereaders prove to be the hot new item this year.  Everyone wants one.  If you want a Kindle, make sure to order from the right place.  You can purchase your Kindle online or find the best Kindle deal possible.  Either way, you’re ensuring a fantastic present for yourself or a lucky loved one.

~ Best wishes for a safe & happy New Year from Literary Traveler ~

Here at Literary Traveler, we are just as excited for the holidays as you are!  And we too have to buy presents and get in the holiday spirit.  How is this all possible with life’s busy schedule?

It’s very possible with a few clicks of the mouse here at LT.  First of all, we have our gift guide entitled: Literary Traveler Holiday Gifts.  You will find classic, timeless gifts for the bookworm in your family or circle of friends.  The best part is we’ve included gifts no manner your financial situation, or if you just want to splurge on that special someone or stay frugal this year.

For example, the priciest item on the list includes the Amazon Kindle, a perfect indulgence for the e-bookworm.  Another great item is the Levenger tote, priced at $58.  I bought mine a few years ago and I love all the pockets and the stylish look – I receive compliments all the time.  Or for the kids, buy the Kid’s Trip Diary for a mere $6.95.  Kids can record their travels, write and draw.

Not included on the list, but a great extra are Cinzia Designs Sunreaders (photo above).  Uber-stylish and sleek, these prescription sunglasses channel old Hollywood glamour – think Betty Draper in Mad Men!  Prices range from $24 to $135.  And each sunreader comes with a vogue carrying case.

To get into the holiday spirit, here’s an older article you may like: Who Wrote ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas?  A Literary Debate.  This article discusses who really penned this famous poem: was it Clement Clark Moore, the known author, or Henry Livingston Jr.?  There are convincing arguments for both sides, thus it is up to you to decide.

We hope all of this holiday info gets you geared up for next week.  Happy Holidays to you and your family from LT!
