Ok, I admit it . . .
I want the Kindle. Not that I don't appreciate paper books quite a bit, but I would love to be able to take something like this along on a trip rather than hauling around books to read. Not to mention the storage aspect -- being able to keep books I'd like to be able to read again or refer back to without having to have the physical thing on my shelf (for those books that do not provoke my collector's instinct, and there are some). Maybe this will be something to do with my tax refund money, assuming I even get some this year.
