A wise and loving mother recently joined KindleBoards to plan a very special care package for her son in Iraq.

“I joined the KindleBoards community several weeks ago to get advice about the feasibility of sending a Kindle to my son in Iraq,” writes KindleBoards member Guernsey. “I’ve whiled away the early weeks of his deployment by spending hours at this site. With all the good advice I’ve read here, I’m ready to send this ‘armored’ up Kindle to him.”

Check out the thoughtful package that Guernsey prepared:

• A new Kindle 2

• A DecalGirl skin in dark burled wood

• A Boxwave Kindle screen protector

• A Patagonia Kindle case

• A Trendy Digital waterproof Kindle bag

• A B&W Type 10 foam-lined, lockable hard case with latches and handle

• 150+ books (mostly free books – classics and newer freebies recommended in the KindleBoards Book Corner)

She even fabricated a a custom modification for the Pategonia case, to make it more durable.

A few hours ago, Guernsey received an email that her son has received the Kindle. With it, she had packed the many well-wishes that have been posted on our forum boards. What a great mom! I lift a prayer for your son’s safe deployment.
