I'm :) to be of service.;) Man! I'm such a dork!

The only place that I read that's not well lit is my bedroom. But thats why I bought a lamp, and the lamp helps me read AND not bump into things! :D

Well, it looks like the 20 somethings are in the lead, but we only have 28 votes right now. There has got to be more active users than that!

I completely agree with the price and the DRM issues, but the back-lit screen is the reason that computer screens give you eye strain. These book readers are designed to simulate the printed page. Besides, you don't read in the dark now. Why would you want to start?:D

It sucked !!! :mad:

Yes, I think you can. I watched the video demo and you can "dog ear" pages to go back to later.

I just saw this thing a couple days ago, and I must admit that if this thing can deliver on all it claims to be then this will be as big as the iPod was for music. I you haven't seen the Kindle, then check it out at Amazon.com. Its on their main page. It uses wireless broadband to shop for...

I mostly buy books that have been recommended or by authors I like to read. But, I did just buy Mister B. Gone mainly for the books design. Its made to look very old and beat up, even all the pages look like they are yellowing on the edges. I used to work in the printing industry for many years...

Hey Tasku, Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep a sharp eye out for those ninjas. I'll be fine as long as there's no pirates!
