First of all, happy anniversary!
I have a Sony digital reader, and I love it very much. So please, give it a chance. Now, I''m a huge reader...but I''ve found that even as much as I loved to read before, I love to do so even more.
I understand your desire for a Fendi bag...as a bagaholic myself, there is very little that thrills me more than a fresh from the box designer tote. But, purses are expensive. I highly doubt, even with a generous sale, that anything Fendi is in the same price range as a Kindle. Maybe your DH did look at the Fendi stuff and realized that although you love the brand, a key-fob seemed "cheap" for the price. Maybe he had a budget in mind, maybe nothing worthwhile fell within that...maybe he wanted the most bang for his buck. Who knows. But a Kindle is an amazing gift...it won''t take long to learn to use...and even if you only read a book a year, it''s a wonderful experience.
I think that you should realize your incredibly lucky to have a DH who adores you, and understand that is the real point of an anniversary. It isn''t really about the gift at all. Some women only get flowers, some men don''t even remember, other couples celebrate the milestone with a special dinner out...consider yourself ahead of the game for being gifted lavishly at all.
On a side note...don''t measure your gifts against anyone elses. It''s not fair to anyone. People have different means and different priorities. You can absolutely show the Kindle off. It was, after all, one of Oprah''s favorite things.
