A Kindle?

Judging by the link, only chicks use Kindles, so no I've never used one

Too expensive yet.

There are a couple different readers available, Maybe I'll get one when they drop to around $180.00 or less

A few guys at my local B&M use them and they love it. The way they designed it puts very little strain on the eyes compared to a computer/laptop screen. You can also download books right off the net I think without having to hook it up to a computer or something to that extent. Seems like a neat gadget but I would never use it

This seems to be an almost universal response. I'm wondering why so many people are reluctant to use it. I wasn't aware that books could be independently downloaded.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not even considering purchasing one, I still read newspapers, for crying out loud. I'm just interested to see how others receive this new technology.

I'll stick with the regular old fashioned paper book. I'm afraid I'd drop the damn thing in the crapper.

I say that only because I don't read a lot of books

The guys I know at the local B&M who have the Kindle go through books like water.
