I’m very excited that you’re holding the Kindle edition of Diary of a Wimpy Kid in your hands. When I read my first e-book on a Kindle, I was amazed at the possibilities. Carrying a whole library around with me on a device I could fit in the palm of my hand? Amazing. What’s been very rewarding to me as an author has been seeing kids carrying their dog-eared copies of Diary of a Wimpy Kid with them. The Kindle allows kids to have the whole series at their fingertips, and the reading experience is crisp and clean every time . . . with no chance of today's breakfast staining the pages. Thank you for purchasing Diary of a Wimpy Kid on your Kindle. I hope it gives you lots of laughs and you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

Thursday It’s been almost two and a half weeks since me and my ex-best friend, Rowley Jefferson, had our big fight. To be honest with you, I thought he would’ve come crawling back to me by now, but for some reason, that hasn’t happened. I’m actually starting to get a little concerned, because school starts back up in a few days, and if we’re gonna get this friendship back on track, something needs to happen quickly. If I and Rowley really ARE through, that would stink, because the two of us had a pretty good thing going.
Now that our friendship is history, I’m in the market for a new best friend. The problem is, I invested all my time in Rowley, and I don’t have anyone lined up to take his place. The two best options I have at this point are Christopher Brownfield and Tyson Sanders. But each of those guys has his own issues.
I hung out with Christopher for the last few weeks of the summer, mostly because he’s a really excellent mosquito magnet. But Christopher is more of a summertime friend than a school-year friend.
Tyson is nice enough, and we like the same video games. But he pulls his pants all the way down when he uses the urinal, and I don’t know if I can ever get past that. The only other kid my age who’s not paired up with someone is Fregley, but I ruled him out as best friend material a long time ago. Anyway, I’m still keeping the door open and a crack for Rowley, just in case. But if he wants to save this friendship, he’d better do something fast. Because of the way things stand, he’s not gonna come out looking very good in my autobiography. With my luck, though, I’ 'll go on to be rich and famous and Rowley will still find a way to ride my coattails.
