Valentine’s Day is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Fast forward to 2010 – how about instead of flowers, you give your special someone the gift of intelligence with the Reader Valentine’s Special Bundle ($329). The bundle includes a red Reader Touch Edition, limited edition red cover with light, and a code for a free eBook download of The Heart Speaks by Mimi Guarneri.
The PRS-600 Reader included in this bundle is feature rich with ePUB, PDF, Microsoft Word, BBeB Book and other text format compatibility – it also has 512MB of built in storage and the ability to use storage cards. Another cool value is the built-in MP3/AAC player and 3.5mm headphone jack to listen to your music or audiobooks. The PRS-600 also has a built-in dictionary, the ability to enlarge text, and a stunning two week battery life (7,500 page turns).
