She ususally closes her eyes halfway through her bottle and starts to fall asleep. I can hold her bottle in one hand and my Kindle in the other with my thumb on the next page button. There is no sound to wake her up and mommy and baby can both relax together. I just wish I had one 4 years ago when my son was born!

(Terrie and I were in grad school together!) I was just sitting down to write my reply -- which is that my gut instinct is that I wasn't likely to curl up with it either -- when I realized that I was curled up bed with my laptop. Maybe I need to give this curling-up-with-Kindle idea another chance ... so c'mon, Amazon, how about sending us school library media specialists some to try out at school (or in our cozy beds)?
