Tech Tip: Remembering Kindle Highlights
I love my Kindle! I read from it almost daily, and probably read about 50%-60% of the books I read from cover-to-cover on it. As I read, though, I like to make some highlights.

8 Ways to Add to Your Library Without Breaking the Bank
I know this is shocking, but I love books! I love challenging myself by reading books, and I have a goal to read 50 this year. (I’m a little behind the “pace” needed, but I’m trying.) Buying books, though, is expensive. And, if you are like me, and love to build a real library, the amount of money you could spend could be overwhelming. Also, without a little self-control, we bibliophiles can harm our family’s budget by just buying and buying and buying some more. I want to share some ways you can add books to your library without crippling your financial future to do so. (And, by the way,…
