I read a decent amount, but I enjoy 20th century paperback technology and large pieces of furniture to house these books in quantity.

What is this reading you speak of? I've seen the Kindle in person, and I have to say I wasn't a big fan. Reading anything on a screen for an extended period of time kills my eyes.

I have Bette Davis eyes!  Which are amazingly wide and protruding.

On a related note though I prefer the good ol feeling of holding a hardback in your hands as you lie back in a milk and rose petal bath.  Not to mention you can't place your trastickels in a Kindle and slam it closed for kicks now can you?

I thought the Kindle displayed in a way not to fatigue?

My boyfriends grandparents have one each. I want one.

If you don't know a word, it looks it up.

You can have the paper sent to your kindle every morning. Nice size screen, good visibility. You can change the font whenever you need to. If you run out of space, Amazon remembers every item you have ever purchased and you can recall it at any time.

If you read a lot and have the cash, I would go for it.

Check one out in person if you get the opportunity!

I keep all of Sandra Brown's books on my Kindle.  I just can't get enough of her witty literary style.
