not about obama...it's about me and (possible) technology...
soooooo, i'm thinking about getting an amazon kindle
has anyone seen one in real life?
they have a forum on amazon to "see a kindle in your city" but couldn't find nola :(
i'm not really sure if i want one or not...
i can see the advantages- less $$ for new books, less paper, easier to lug on vacation than a pile of books, but i don't know if i can get over not physically having a book
of course i woudn't abandon books completely- there are some authors whose books i would always buy, kinda the same as there are some musicians i always buy on cd and not just download- and i would still be on PBS, so this would mostly be for new books, blogs, magazines etc.
i've been thinking about this since it came out and wasn't really sold on the idea until (and don't slap me for saying this) oprah was singing it's praises on her show. she's a real reader, whether you like her book club selections or not, and she was crazy about it; she showed all it's cool features and had the amazon guy who created it on her show about 2 weeks ago
anyone have thoughts?
if you have no idea what i'm talking about, just go on amazon- it's front and center
