Don't want to pay for books to read, that's what the library is for. Now she's asking for a laptop. Ummm, no. What are some 9th birthday present ideas?

I believe you can put them on the kindle but it is a bit of a process. Katy (almost 9) just finished the huge stack of books she checked out last week so tomorrow is going to go through online and get the next 5-10 she wants only now they will all go on to nook. --------------------

Our library has digital books for download and you just select what device you are using. Ashley's 9th birthday is coming up and I am stumped too. She wanted the newer version of the iTouch, but she has the older iTouch so that's probably not going to happen. I was thinking about redecorating her room and getting her a new desk or vanity for her room. Other than that, I am stumped and looking for ideas too. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Other than that she's asked for iTunes cards and gift certificates to go shopping for clothes. Oh and.....she wants a horse. -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey

She originally asked for the Ipod 2. I said that's an Ipad 2. She said yeah that's what I want. When I own an Ipad 2, then maybe we'll think about getting her one. Maybe

Yeah, I'm gonna get one before Kylie ever does, too.

Which version of the Nook do you have? I just checked them out and they are as much as a Kindle.

Do you know if you can download children's books from the library onto it? Even though dd is going to be 9, she's dyslexic and reads at a lower reading level.

Yes you can get kids books and our library has a ton for all ages. I know my just 5 year old was asking for Curious George when we were searching for books for katy. On the nook color barnes and noble has some pretty cool kids books that read to you (can be a bit pricey) but my 5 year old keeps stealing my nook for his read to me books so I am seriously considering turning that one over to my boys when i get the new one. --------------------

Painting right over all those hand-painted murals of butterflies and dragonflies and hanging flowers that I lovingly painted 9 yrs ago for my little baby girl. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"
