Amazon Kindle
Amazon is releasing the Kindle wireless reading device. They are billing it as the future of book reading. I haven’t seen one person but it looks to be larger than a PDA. They say it is lighter than a paperback. There are more than 88,000 books available and over 100 magazines. You can also read blogs off of it and Word documents. The Wi-Fi lets you download books and you can sample books before you buy. It will hold over 200 titles. Now I like the idea of the Kindle but will it replace books? I like the feeling and smell of books. An electronic device just doesn’t have the same feel. I also wonder how the screen is on your eyes. I love gadgets but this is one of those items I would want to see and touch before I committed to buying one. I don’t want to plunk down $399 for an item that becomes a dust collector. You can buy one here and you can let me know how you like it.

Oh, I imagine that would just kill your eyes! At least mine. Some people can staring at a computer continuously and not have any problems, but mine start to get bad pretty fast.
I’m also like you…I like the feel and smell of the book. And then when I’m done, I can put it on the shelf like a little trophy.
