« on: June 13, 2010, 09:43:28 AM »
I just discovered there are a bunch of free ones...either historical stuff or promotions here.

I am reading this one right now, pretty good...

Kerm.  We already talked about that series in here.

Anyhoo, it starts out good but falls apart later.

Meh - I'm still enjoying book 2 so I'll enjoy it while it lasts...

True, but the iPhone and Droid Apps work well enough...

So how do your guys feel about the Kindle? I've been thinking about it. Part of that is all the Project Gutenberg books and whatnot that are available for free. It's like, having an entire instant-on library + bookstore in your hands. Worth it?

I am really tempted to get one, esp when I leave for Kuwait.

I may break down and get one while I'm there - might use some of my bonus money for that.

Does anyone have a Kindle who doesn't commute a long distance or travel a lot?  If I was still on the road all the time, I could really see the benefit, but as it is I don't really see the need when I've got bookstores everywhere and two decent libraries a mile from my house

But I still want one because of nerd envy

I know 4 people who have one who use it at home and work (they don't travel and even though they have a commute, they're driving) and love it.

I really want an e-book that you can annotate (underline, highlight, write notes in the margins). Mostly for reading papers. I'm actually thinking about an iPad just for that reason.

Me too!

Well, 167 after tax.

And I answered my own question - how's that for productivity!
