Kindle

This makes me want one even more:



Is it possible to have a crush on a piece of technology?

It's pretty crush worthy. I really like mine a lot :)

The orginal or the kindle 2?

I am so very tempted, the only problem is that I like to read in the bath and I am scared I would drop it in the water. Though I haven't done that with a book in 10 years.

I have an original. I also read in the bath all the time and although I've not dropped mine in the water, I have heard they survive well if you let them dry out. I can ask my mom, as she drops (paper) books in the bathtub regularly. She has a kindle and may have tested out the survival capability.

I am so tempted. I hate having clutter around so I don't like buying books but I never get time to go to the library when they are actually open. Like it is 10 pm and I want a new book.

The button my Titanium E is starting to go. When my palm dies, I'll get an ebook reader.

A kindle? I want one so much.

I have an original Kindle. I continue to really like it.

I read somewhere that there are plastic sleeves available to protect it in the bath.

I am thinking about it. Still, it is so much money!

[eatsoylentgreen.livejournal.com]

no kidding! free cellular web access.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

All the wikipedia I can handle. Which is a lot.

Those things sound neat. And I am not even a gadget person.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It is my new crush.

[jessikate.livejournal.com]

WIN. I adore XKCD.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Me too!

I really wish I could try one before scraping up the cash.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I know. I wish there was some place to try them out.

I have an original Kindle that I'd be willing to part with - I bought it for my mom last summer because she couldn't turn the pages of regular books anymore.

YOU ARE A TEMPTRESS!!! Let me oogle over the new one to see if it is that much better but a used one from someone that I know cared for it would be a good deal.

[kevelyn63.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes I AM a temptress - beware! I also know technology lust. Do you wanna borrow my Kindle, fondle it, look deeply into it's screen for hours at a time as you succumb to the temptation to own?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Maybe...

Oh, do you need help this weekend with decluttering? I am not going to go visit my friend until next weekend so I could come help on Sunday morning/afternoon. :)

I seriously want one. Too bad they aren't supported in Canada yet though.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

That totally sucks. :(

I want one hard, except they still don't have full PDF support. Once they have that, instant SOLD. Ok, and PDF or no, color e-ink? Double-sold.

Yeah, the lack of PDF support concerns me too. Plus it doesn't support word docs. However, since I am not in school anymore I am not that worried.

There is a guy at rockband that is getting a kindle 2 and he said he would bring it. I am pretty sure I am going to want one really badly after actually touching it.

We're totally crushing on the same thing. ♥
