For 489 dollars, hahaha, fuck that.It's not like you need more than one book with you at any one time anyway so it's ultimately pointless for journeys.

An alternative ebook reader would be cheaper though I would have thought.Plus can the kindle even read normal txt documents and pdfs or is it only special amazon bought shit? In which case it can fuck off given than the majority of books they sell are probably public domain anyway.

LET'S NOT GET HUNG UP ON THE KINDLE, IT'S NEWoops, sory, caps
there will be knock offs very soon and for half the price, just like mp3 players are now so ubiquitous. And personally I have more than one book going at any one time, so carrying them in one package would be a benefit. I'm arguing the pros and have no immediate desire to buy one, I just don;t see them as a bad thing.

It's like the iPod thing, weren't the first or even the best mp3 players around yet everything now supposedly imitates them.I read The Count of Monte Cristo in pdf format on my PC and War and Peace on paper, reading the paper book was inexorably harder because you have to fucking hunch over for hours on end instead of laying back and reading so it's unlikely I'd use it. And what the hell is it with people reading more than one book at once? I physically don't understand why people do that.
Also is the font on them naturally fucking massive due to the low pixel resolution or is that just a crappy screenshot?

books have chaptersTV series have episodes
it's the same principal. I can watch and follow different shows at different times. I don;t have to watch an entire series with no other input to follow the story.
and I think you meant that 'reading the PC was inexorably harder', no?
