Default Re: Anyone Own A Kindle?

I'm all for technology and hell, I even use it pretty much everyday. When I first saw this kind of technology I'm scratching my head like,,,WTH! What happened to just taking a bood,,open it,,,and read? For what these things cost you could buy quite a few books on Amazon and read the old fashioned way like we did growing up. Now we have texting, tweeting, facebooking, and everything in between that actually keeps us from having to interract with other like human beings. I can hardly wait for cigar herfs over the internet,,oh wait, I do that now.

I own one now! My wife and kids got it for me -- quite a surprise -- and I love it! It's not the same as reading a real paper book, but it is very good for what it is. It travels well, and it is very convenient!

We'll have to compare notes on the 29th.

I love mine for deployments. I hate giving books back, so I don't do libraries usually, and the e-book beats shipping a box of books home after every deployment. It fits in a crago pocket so it is easy to haul dozens of books around with me.
