I haven’t really looked at the technology itself. But the idea is sound. The only question is how are we going to tranfer everything to a readable format like this, and how do we keep from loosing material to time. 00(infinity symbol) whatch out for this paper.

Yeah, I love reading and on occasion I have read an ebook but it gets tedious reading it on the small screen of my iPod or sitting in front of my computer reading. I still prefer having the tangible book, feeling it, smelling it, etc. The only downside of buying tangible books to me is that it costs SO MUCH more. I must have spent enough money on books to buy a new car..

The dictionary feature on Kindle sounds great though!

“in exchange I would never have to deal with moving all those heavy boxes of books again.” – Umm, that’s why I use a Library. I still get the real book and don’t have to shell out huge amounts of money for a machine that’s not going to be supported in 2 years anyway.

I read usually 3-4 books a week, since I don’t sleep well at night. But that doesn’t mean that your any less of an avid book lover than I am or anyone else, you just might have less time to read. It doesn’t matter what the subject is if it looks interesting I want to read it. I have read a lot of books, even listened to a few on tape that I thought should never have been published. I never understand if there isn’t a point to the book why they would spend the money on publishing it.

Cool Whip: $100 bill is not on paper. The dollar bill in use today was designed in 1957. This “paper money” is made from a blend of cotton and linen.

Yes, because I’m reading a $100.00 bill. It is worth the paper it’s printed on.

I just can’t get into reading whole books online. I guess it’s because I am on a computer all day long at work, reading an actual book is my way of unplugging.

http://www.paperbackswap.com is a great site where you sign up, post books and trade with other members. It’s actually a great site. I’ve gotten several books from there so far and it’s much cheaper than buying from a bookstore or even a secondhand book store.
The deal is when you sign up, post 10 books, you get 3 credits for free. The credits allow you to request a book from other members. You also receive a credit each time you ship a book that has been requested from another a member. The membership to the site is free and the only thing that has to be paid is the postage costs when someone requests a book from you and if you choose to buy credits on the site instead of waiting for member to request one of your books. The site had hardcover, paperpbacks, large prints and audio books.

Just a thought. I happen to love it and find it easy to find what i need.

I was unsure until I recieved my kindle 2. I am glad I waited and received the K2, I LOVE it. I thought I would miss the feel of a book, paper pages to turn etc. Nope. I love the whispernet feature with it’s instant gratification. This has been a great investment. And to those who do not have a Kindle or other ereader, How can you review what you have no first hand knowledge of. You are as bad as those folks that review movies without ever seeing them. Just because “you heard…” Doesn’t cut it.

Just don’t read anything by Bill O’reilly. What a piece of work!
