That said, I seem to lose my glasses a lot and the adjustable type would be a very good thing indeed!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-71396022681505685412010-08-24T12:33:53.782-04:002010-08-24T12:33:53.782-04:00I have been lusting after one of these.

The codex (or book form) has been around since just after the Christ died. In fact, Christians invented the book (codex) in order to hide their writings from the Romans. Getting eaten by lions sucked in so many ways. That being said I like paper. Why? Because paper lasts. Electronic is the most fragile median ever. I spend half my day figuring out how to preserve electronic material. Paper? No problem. Electronic? Hard as hell. If books are going to be published only in electronic form how are we to preserve them for future generations? <br /><br />After bitching I'll have to say they do look cool.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995260386315141412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-11502476207498312552010-08-23T19:04:15.687-04:002010-08-23T19:04:15.687-04:00You mentioned the one feature on th Kindle that I ...You mentioned the one feature on th Kindle that I miss when reading a "real" book - the built in dictionary. I use it all the time on the Kindle and find myself looking for the cursor when I'm reading a book and want to check on the meaning of a word. But I'm way to lazy to go get a dictionary. Books still win hands down, though.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589606390781637262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-66696294206883210732010-08-23T16:41:34.017-04:002010-08-23T16:41:34.017-04:00Good for you, I hope you love it.

I'd miss having the actual book, the tangible pages to turn. After all, it's why they call good books "page-turners", not "button-pushers".Badass Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030944236271663794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-83600733727990423202010-08-23T10:52:47.440-04:002010-08-23T10:52:47.440-04:00I have been intrigued by the Kindle for quite a wh...I have been intrigued by the Kindle for quite a while now. I go back and forth on whether or not I'd really use one, especially because I currently use the library and paperback swap for free books.<br /><br />Then hubs got an iPad,and I played around with the e-reader a little bit. Now, I'm in love and I want one so bad. I'm trying to use self control and wait though...I have to have more free time for reading before making the investment! Thanks for the great review. :-)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029614712855760844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-50465581996488913282010-08-23T08:33:38.013-04:002010-08-23T08:33:38.013-04:00I have yet to succumb to the Kindle, although I am...I have yet to succumb to the Kindle, although I am intrigued by it. I just love the feel and smell of new books far too much to give them up. I've always been that girl that spends an obscene amount of money on books so I can build my own personal "library" -- but as I mentioned, I am intrigued by the Kindle and often wonder how long it will be until I cave in and snatch one up. Seeing such favorable reviews brings that day closer :)A New England Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016162084810966866noreply@blogger.com
