If you like to read, it may be worth taking a look at. I remember a few years ago after I packed up 25 CD's to take into my car, "They really need to figure out how to do Mp3's for cars". Of course, it's entirely possible now to listen to music without CD's in the car. Even though I enjoy reading 'real books', I am beginning to feel this way about them. Maybe because I see the benefit of technology in other areas of my life, I am willing to look at the possibility of reading 'books' on the Kindle.
Here is information about the Kindle E-Book Reader.
And here is an excerpt from a Kindle owner:
The Kindle is a terrific instrument. Of course, it does not do everything and the entire Library of Cogress is not available. But with 90,000 books that can be readily downloaded, it's not bad. I buy new releases for less than I can get them at big box discount stores. A side benefit is that I don't have to find a place for that hardback book or somebody with my tastes to give it to. By the way, how many out of print books does the normal person buy. My guess is nada. The Kindle is great for traveling. I used to dump books in my suitcase. No more! The Kindle is not a "Do all, end all' device. It is just a very convenient way to enjoy reading. As an added attraction, it provides instant gratification. Download of a new bestseller takes about 30 seconds.
I'm about to place my order. What do you think? Join me. Click on the Kindle below to learn more about it and place your order. My bet is they will be as ubiquitous as the i-pod: people holding and reading this device while waiting for the bus, riding the subway, waiting in the doctor's office. I'll read mine during commercials.
