Amazon's Kindle

[Haunted]

Friend told me about this yesterday. You download books from AMAZON--prices vary from $5 to 10. Costs $359.
Does anyone know about this product? Pros and Cons?

Steve loves his.

Thanks...that says a lot.

I'm a little too old fashioned for that.

if you go to G4tv.com and do a search on there, there's a show called attack of the show, and they've reviewed it. they're very honest about it. i personally however prefer to hold a real book. the smell, the feel, everything.

I looked into it but as brownmouse said, I'm a little too old fashioned for that. I love my library and the books lining the walls throughout.

I have been told if you do a lot of travelling having a KINDLE is great. I have read that working the keys (to turn a page for instance) can be tricky.
But will check out G4tv.com for further info, thanks for the hint.


I will have to admit that holding a book in my hands, balanced on my knees, reading it while it is laying on the kitchen counter, oh, and turning those pages... all those motions that comprise my love for the written word I think I would miss.

I just love to hold a book in my hands and read, it's a great feeling. But I do think that a kindle is handy when you have to travel and don't want a really thick and heavy book to carry around.

Hey this is an interesting device . I would like to have one but it would be a 'luxury' item on my budget. It would be great for traveling which I do quite a bit. Nice gift for someone else too, especially if they need large print.

I like my books, hard cover and paperback. Kindle may be good for traveling but I'd rather stick with books.
